COVID-19 Community Reporting Tool

"Community group" refers to a group of people who come together for a specific reason.  For example, Ottawa Soccer is a sports team made up of 15 players who meet at Mooney’s Bay Park every Saturday at 6:00pm.

Community Group COVID-19 Reporting 

Now that we have determined that there were members who tested positive for COVID-19 within a 14-day period, we need to determine if they were infectious while they attended the community setting.

Symptomatic Case: A person with COVID-19 is contagious from 48 hours before symptoms start until the end of their self-isolation period, usually 10 days after symptoms began.

Asymptomatic Case: If an individual has no symptoms, they are considered contagious from 48 hours before the date they were tested until 10 days after the test date.

Example: If an employee develops a fever and cough on April 4 and tests positive for COVID-19, they would be considered contagious between April 2 and April 14.
