VANCOUVER -- An outbreak continues to grow at Kelowna's Cottonwoods Care Centre as 23 people have now tested positive for COVID-19.
Three staff members and 20 residents have so far tested positive at the facility where vaccines had already been offered. It's believed the outbreak started in a short-stay unit, where people may be placed between time in hospital and long-term care.
Last week, Interior Health revealed roughly 65 per cent of staff at the care centre had received a shot, leaving about 35 per cent of staff unvaccinated, despite the rollout starting at the facility in December. |
