Again, the advice for anyone who was at the bakery at that time is to keep an eye on your health for a fortnight after visiting that location of interest and get a Covid test if symptoms start to show during that time.
The public is also urged to remember that after getting a Covid test, you must stay home until a negative test result is returned.
