Being at the site of an exposure event does not necessarily mean you will develop COVID-19, Fraser Health states. This exposure as well as others listed on Fraser Health’s public exposures website, is believed to be of low risk, but health officials ask those specified to self-monitor or self-isolate as a precaution and to stop potential spread. There is no known risk to those who came to Sasquatch Mountain Resort outside of those times.
Common symptoms of COVID-19 might include fever, chills, coughing, shortness of breath and a loss of sense of smell or taste. If you have symptoms related to COVID-19, call 811, seek testing and self-isolate.
