KINGSTON -- A Kingston fitness centre is asking members to monitor for symptoms after a member tested positive for COVID-19.
In a statement on Facebook, Omega Fit Club says, "We have been informed by public health that one of our members has tested positive for COVID-19. This member attended an indoor social gathering last weekend which has been linked with many cases in our community."
Omega Fit Club tells CTV News Ottawa that public health officials said the member had attended an indoor social gathering that had been linked to cases of COVID-19 in the community.
Omega Fit Club says the member attended the gym on the following days:
- Tuesday, Dec. 8 between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.
