  • The duration of the outbreak is typically 28 days after the last case (i.e. Sept 17) and at the discretion of the Medical Health Officer.
  • The health and safety of our residents and staff remain our #1 priority.  We all know COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease that can be deadly.  We are grateful for the dedication and skills of our staff, augmented by additional expertiseT and significant resources from Fraser Health.
