At this time Northern Health continues to take the necessary steps to protect all staff and residents at Jubilee Lodge.

Northern Health Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Jong Kim shared in the release, “Increased vigilance and testing during an outbreak often means that we expect to find additional cases.
