SUDBURY -- A health care worker at the North Bay Regional Health Centre has been confirmed to have COVID-19 Saturday night.

Officials say there are no other cases of the novel coronavirus confirmed in staff, physicians or patients.

"In an effort to further reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission among our staff, physicians, patients and community, our health centre instituted a universal mask initiative on April 8," said Tiziana Silveri, executive vice president of clinical services and chief nursing executive at the hospital.  "The safety of our patients and staff is always a priority and we are taking additional infection prevention and control measures including enhanced cleaning—all to continue to keep your Hospital safe."

The individual is experiencing mild symptoms and is now in self-isolation. Officials are working on contract tracing to determine any close contacts.
