Health officials are advising people who attended the restaurant during those hours to monitor themselves for the following symptoms for 14 days: fever; cough; shortness of breath; sore throat; and headache.

The person, who is now self-isolated and recovering at home, had mild, non-respiratory symptoms of COVID-19, the VCH said.

“Public Health Officials have completed a risk assessment and concluded that the risk to people at the restaurant at the time was low, but we are making this notification out of an abundance of caution,” the VCH said in a statement. “Any possible exposures were restricted to the restaurant on those specific dates and times. There was no risk to anyone outside of those times or to anyone else who may have visited any other part of the hotel.”

The VCH says the case is linked to travel and other known cases which have previously been announced.
