The COVID-19 outbreak at Discovery Harbour long-term care home in Campbell River is over, Island Health said Thursday.

“There are no longer any COVID-19 cases related to the outbreak at the home,” Island Health said.

The outbreak was declared Aug. 4 after three vaccinated staff members tested positive for COVID-19. No residents tested positive. About 60 per cent of staff were vaccinated at the time.

With the outbreak now declared over, social visits, admissions and transfers, and resident movement through the facility has resumed.

Infection prevention measures and use of personal protective equipment at the home continues.
