Fraser Health has not released an official public exposure notification regarding this incident. However, Dasmesh Darbar said it wanted to get the word out to the public.

“COVID-19 is spreading very quickly in our region and it may take time for Fraser Health Authority to put out public health alerts and complete contact tracing. It is our responsibility to the greater community to provide as much information as possible and as soon as possible.”
