High-Risk Contacts Asked to Get Tested and Self-Isolate
Peterborough Public Health (PPH) is advising members of the public who attended Pine Crest Golf Club from June 11-13 and who meet the criteria of a high-risk exposure to get tested for COVID-19 following confirmation of a positive staff case.
Pine Crest Golf Club is located in the Township of Otonabee-South Monaghan at 2455 Base Line, Peterborough, ON.
To be considered a high-risk exposure, you must meet all of the following criteria:
- Attended Pine Crest Golf Club from June 11-13
- Did not wear a mask
- Conducted a transaction with the mobile beverage cart operator (e.g. purchased an item, gave a tip, or conversed with the cart operator, etc.)
- Were not fully immunized. (To be fully immunized, you must have received your second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine on May 28 or earlier.)
Individual who meet ALL of the above criteria are recommended to self-isolate immediately, arrange for COVID-19 testing as soon as possible, and monitor for symptoms. Testing appointments can be booked online here or visit https://www.prhc.on.ca/about-us/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/ for testing options in Peterborough.
Symptoms of COVID-19 include:
- Fever or chills
- Cough or shortness of breath
- Muscle aches, joint pain and tiredness
- Difficulty breathing (shortness of breath)
- Sore throat or difficulty swallowing

- Runny nose or stuffy (congested) nose
- New loss of taste or smell
- Gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea)
- Pink eye
- Extreme tiredness
- Falling down often (for older people)
Based on its case investigation, Peterborough Public Health is considering this situation to be a low-risk exposure for most people who attended Pine Crest Golf Club from June 11-13 and has already contacted members and staff with instructions. However, in the absence of contact information for members of the public who may have attended those days, Peterborough Public Health is issuing this public notification, as a high-risk exposure with the potential for transmission cannot be ruled out.
Those with personal health questions are asked to follow up with their healthcare provider. Information about self-isolation, COVID-19 testing and workplace safety can find this at www.peterboroughpublichealth.ca. As Peterborough Public Health’s COVID-19 hotline is still closed, those with questions can email to covid19@peterboroughpublichealth.ca.
