COVID-19 outbreak in a personal service setting in Kingston, Ontario, 2020

CONCLUSION: The interplay of aggressive accessible testing, quick lab turnaround time, contact tracing within 24 hours of positive laboratory results as per provincial standards, frequent public communication, rapid inspections, mandatory self-isolation and face coverings were measures successful in halting the outbreak. Inspections or self-audits should be required at all PSSs prior to reopening and outbreak management must work with PSSs to reduce the possibility of superspreading events.PMID:34035668 | PMC:PMC8127683 | DOI:10.14745/ccdr.v47i04a06
