York Region is declaring another wedding-related outbreak after nine confirmed and seven probable COVID-19 cases were linked to events in the Township of King.

That comes just days after a different outbreak with 17 confirmed cases linked to two weddings in the region that were attended by many of the same guests.

York Region’s public health unit says confirmed cases from the King Township outbreak attended wedding events while contagious.

The health unit says the wedding-related events were held at a private residence on Nov. 6 and 7.

It adds that the risk of exposure to those who attended the wedding is high.

The department says it has identified attendees as residents from York, Peel Region and Toronto, and it is currently conducting case and contact management for the events.
