As testing and monitoring continues, Interior Health is reporting a cluster of 60 cases of covid-19 at Big White. The agency says most of it comes from transmission related to shared housing and large gatherings. I-H says the risk is low for families and individuals visiting Big White who stick to their immediate household bubble as outdoor operations are not affected. The resort’s ownership group will be meeting today and will be acting quickly to address the living conditions of staff outside of its managed residences.
The Province reported 522 new cases of covid-19 yesterday, along with 56 in the Interior Health Region. There were 21 new virus related deaths, including a resident in long-term care at McKinney Place in Oliver, for a total of 668 in British Columbia.
