Peel Public Health is urging attendees of two wedding events in Mississauga earlier this month to seek “immediate” testing due to COVID-19 exposure.
In a news release issued Monday, health officials said the advisory applies to guests who went to the Red Rose Convention Centre (Champaign Hall) on Derry Road on Oct. 8 between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m.
The second event was at the Candles Banquet Hall on Dundas Street East on Oct. 9 between 6:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
Health officials said all individuals who went to either event should get tested regardless of their vaccination status and added that those who are not fully vaccinated must self-isolate until they receive a negative test result.
Officials said fully vaccinated attendees do not need to self-isolate as long as they aren’t experiencing any symptoms.
