Fraser Health has confirmed a case of the novel coronavirus at a fourth long-term care facility in Metro Vancouver. The new COVID-19 case involves a staff member at the Dufferin Care Centre in Coquitlam, who is now in isolation at home, officials said Friday.
The health authority said it is working to identify anyone else who may have been exposed, and taking steps to protect other staff members, residents and family members.
Staff are being prevented from working at any other seniors’ homes. Fraser Health said it is stepping up screening, cleaning and infection control measures at the facility and notifying staff, residents and families.
