The individual was at the child care centre during their infectious period July 12. As a result, La Niche des lionceaux has voluntarily dismissed the entire child care centre community.

"An outbreak has not been declared at this time."
If you think you may have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, first self-isolate and then use Ontario's Self-Assessment Tool to see if you need to seek further care.
