Fraser Health says the COVID-19 outbreak at Laurel Place in Surrey is over.  In an information bulletin Saturday (Jan. 16), the health authority declared the outbreak over at the Whalley long-term care centre.

Fraser Health first declared the outbreak in a Dec. 22, 2020 information bulletin, stating that four patients and two staff members at the high-intensity rehabilitation unit had tested positive for COVID-19

In the Ministry of Health’s weekly report on January 13  on outbreak in long-term care, assisted living and independent living, it said there were 68 cases connected to the Laurel Place outbreak, with 10 deaths.  All 10 deaths were among residents and patients.
