Public health teams continue to provide support for the four ongoing community locations.

There have been two new health-care facility outbreaks, at the Mission Memorial Hospital and Tabor Home in Abbotsford.

The outbreak at Tabor Home and at the Maple Hill long-term care facility announced yesterday are connected to the outbreak at Mission Memorial Hospital.

“These recent health-care outbreaks are very concerning and clearly demonstrate that COVID-19 remains in our communities,” said Provincial Health Officer Doctor Bonnie Henry.

“Mission Memorial is a small hospital, which means services for the local community are now limited to urgent and emergency care only. Public health teams are working hard to contain further spread. While we are monitoring the situation closely, we are hopeful that we have caught these outbreaks in the early stages,” she added.
