In terms of the workplace one area of transmission that Health Units are noticing in contract tracing is with workers before and at break. Medical Officer of Health Miriam Klassen says that although workplace measures are in place it’s these other times that are causing the spread.
“With workplace outbreaks the common theme across the province is that often times the workplace measures are in place and are effective. People are taking off their masks and getting together during their breaks and carpooling. This is where the transmission is occurring.”
