Another person has tested positive for COVID-19 in the Williams Lake Seniors Village.

An employee tested positive, however, Interior Health does not feel that positive care is linked to the original cases on December 28th where a resident tested positive.

Staff and residents that had been in contact with the COVID positive individual were tested for the virus, and so far that they received four negative results.
