************************* In order to be transparent to the community, the City of Barrie is sharing the following information out of an abundance of caution. The City was notified this evening that a Barrie Transit operator received a positive COVID-19 test result today. The bus operator is following public health directions and isolating. All buses are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after service each day and receive additional mid-day sanitization to further improve safety measures. Barrie Transit is not aware of any workplace transmission at this time. As the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit advises on an ongoing basis, everyone in the community should follow Health Unit guidelines, self-monitor, and get tested if they have COVID-19 symptoms.
