Brampton Transit services could be impacted by COVID-19 investigation

Brampton Transit says due to an active Peel Public Health COVID-19 community investigation, there could be cancellations or service interruptions on Tuesday.

Peel Public Health are investigating a number of cases among transit employees and have directed all impacted employees to get tested. They also asked those who refused testing to self-isolate. Medical grade masks have also been made mandatory for the operators.

Public Health added with the additional measures, they do not believe there is any increased risk to the public beyond the risk that already exists due to ongoing community transmission.

The number of cases being investigated is unknown.

Brampton Transit is offering their employees on-site testing at its facilities. If employees are required to self-isolate, this is what may affect the level of service.

Any updates will be provided through the service’s Twitter page.

At this time, those riding buses are asked to continue following public health recommendations including staying home if you are a close contact or have symptoms, and wearing a tight-fitting mask in public spaces.
