All letters are considered a “general notification and does not mean you or your family have been exposed to COVID-19,” according to Fraser Health.
A Public Health risk assessment is underway and those who are determined to have been in close contact with the case will receive further instructions to isolate.
“Only Public Health can determine who is a close contact,” Fraser Health said.
