City employee has tested positive for COVID-19, says city hall

The City of Moose Jaw reported on Nov. 12 that an employee has tested positive for COVID-19, but says the public has not been at risk of contact.

A press release from the city stated that the positive individual doesn’t interact with the public in their duties and also has not been in City Hall since Nov. 5. 

City hall staff have been directed to self-monitor, while public health is undergoing a contact tracing investigation and will contact anyone who may have been in close contact with the individual.

Residents are reminded that they must undergo a COVID-19 health screen before entering the lobby, and masks will be required under the recent public health order coming into effect on Nov. 16.
