Dear PDAC 2020 Attendee:
Yesterday, we notified you that a PDAC 2020 participant tested positive for COVID-19 after returning home to Sudbury, Ontario from our event. Since then, Toronto Public Health has provided the following information based on their investigation:
- It is confirmed that the individual associated with the PDAC 2020 Convention, from Sudbury, was not infectious at the conference
- Through the investigation it has now been determined that the individual attended the Trade Show on March 1-3 including the Ontario Premier’s press conference held on the show floor on March 2 and the Student-Industry Networking Luncheon on March 3
- It is recommended that people who attended PDAC 2020 watch for signs and symptoms as a precautionary measure. It is possible that the person in Sudbury acquired their infection at the event. Advice for self-monitoring can be found in the fact sheet located here
- The individual also attended three smaller evening events. PDAC has been in contact with the organizers of those events and Toronto Public Health will be following up with them directly. However, the advice remains the same, the risk is low and persons are advised to self-monitor.
We will continue supporting the investigation being conducted by Public Health Sudbury & Districts and Toronto Public Health.
The health and safety of PDAC 2020 participants remains our top priority. We are committed to keeping you informed and will continue to provide information as required.
