Exposure warning at Lloydminster church
On Friday, the Saskatchewan Health Authority issued an increased COVID-19 exposure risk alert for those who attended the Lloydminster Gospel Fellowship Church on Sunday, July 11.
Anyone who attended the location at 4620 47 Ave. between 10 a.m. CST and 11:30 a.m. CST that day is asked to seek testing, isolate and self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms until July 25.
Those with two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, obtained before June 27, do not need to isolate, but are asked to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms. If symptoms develop, people are asked to seek testing and isolate themselves immediately.
The health authority said isolation means people need to stay home, avoid contact with anyone who is not fully vaccinated and stay home from work, school, stores, social events and any public setting.
