WINGHAM, ONT. -- A person who attended a 'buck and doe' gathering in Seaforth on March 14, has tested positive for COVID-19.
The Waterloo Region Public Health Unit is asking anyone who was at the buck and doe on March 14 in Seaforth to self monitor for symptons until Sunday (14 days from the date of the event). If they develop symptoms they're asked to self isolate.
