The COVID-19 outbreak at The Olde School Restaurant was declared over on December 4, and an outbreak at a Manufacturing/Industrial workplace was declared over on December 8.
Acting Medical Officer of Health for BCHU Dr. Elizabeth Urbantke said, “It is also strongly recommended that workplaces do not have in-person workplace holiday gatherings or events, particularly if face coverings must be removed to eat or drink. We’ve seen provincially that COVID-19 transmission and outbreaks have occurred at these types of events. Virtual gatherings or events are the safest way to celebrate the holidays with co-workers.”
