People who attended 2 Lethbridge parties urged to book COVID-19 tests

People who attended two house parties in Lethbridge last month are being urged by Alberta Health Services to book a COVID-19 test.

AHS officials took their plea to Twitter late Friday afternoon.

Alberta Health Services is asking individuals who attended a house party in south Lethbridge on either March 13 and/or March 20 to book a COVID-19 test as a precautionary measure due to exposure to a positive individual in attendance.

People who attended either gathering are being asked to book a testing appointment, whether symptomatic or not, and alert health officials that they were a close contact of a confirmed case.
