Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. March 6 2020 -- The building management of a Scarborough condominium has confirmed one of its onsite security staff has tested positive for coronavirus.

A picture of the paper notice was posted on Reddit which indicated that York Condominium Corporation — which manages 4091 and 4101 Sheppard Ave. E. — was recently informed one of its security guards was diagnosed with COVID-19 after having returned from an overseas trip on Feb. 23.

“We are told that he is currently at home in self-isolation, but he was working onsite at the condominium for portions of last week before the diagnosis,” the notice read.

Management for the building — located near Kennedy Road — said it has taken a number of precautionary measures, including “performing a disinfecting operation in potentially affected areas using a professional emergency response contractor.”

The guard was provided by a third-party security provider.
