PRINCE GEORGE — Northern Health says the COVID-19 outbreak at Jubilee Lodge, a long-term care facility in town, has now claimed five lives, two of whom were epidemiologically linked.

To date, 20 residents have tested positive for the virus and three staff, and four additional resident cases have been epidemiologically linked due to exposure with a confirmed case.

A COVID-19 outbreak was declared there earlier this month.

Enhanced outbreak control measures are in effect to help limit the spread of the virus, including:

Increased frequency of cleaning and infection control measures
Enhanced symptom monitoring among all staff and residents
Reducing movement of staff and residents in the facility
Temporary suspension of social visits (essential visits are not impacted, and can continue)
