Kamloops seniors homes take precautions following flu outbreak
KAMLOOPS — Preventative measures are being taken at Kamloops senior homes after an outbreak of influenza.
Billie Askeland is a brio team leader at Berwick on the Park. She says residents who have come down with the flu on the care floor have been isolated to their rooms, and people are asked not to visit at this time.
“If family are insistent in coming in we do follow the influenza control program recommendations.Those who are not immunized wear a mask during their visit, we also provide personal protective equipment [such as] gowns, and gloves for residents who are symptomatic with family that want to visit in their suites,” said Askeland.
