COVID-19 Update - September 8, 2020

• There have been no additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 in South Court, KinVillage’s assisted living residence, since the outbreak was declared on September 3^rd.  All residents and staff members are being regularly monitored for symptoms.  The one staff member who tested positive continues to self-isolate at home.  
• The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak is two full incubation periods, or 28 days, following identification of the most recent positive case.  (Fraser Health adds 14 days to the first 14-day period to ensure the site is COVID-free.)   If there are no more confirmed cases in the days ahead (that is our goal!), we expect the outbreak will be officially declared over on October 1^st.   The length of time to conclude an outbreak may be reduced or extended at the direction of the Medical Health Officer.
• A reminder that social visits to South Court are not allowed during the outbreak.
• All restrictive measures in place to control the outbreak apply to all residents of South Court, including 69 assisted living and 11 independent tenants.
• We are very grateful to:
  • our Fraser Health colleagues who have been extremely supportive and an excellent source of guidance and information; 
  • our staff who have rallied together to adapt and do what needs to be done during this stressful time; and
  • residents and their families for their understanding, patience and encouragement.
    
• Other residences (West Court/Care Home, North Court and Vidal Court) are NOT affected by the outbreak in South Court.
