Staff and patrons who attended the dance school on Feb. 10 have a low risk of having been exposed to the virus and don’t need to self-isolate. Island Health specified that a low risk exposure means those affected were not in close proximity to the identified case for an extended period of time and are unlikely to contract the virus.
