CACHE CREEK, B.C. – Interior Health has issued a public alert over a case of COVID-19 at a restaurant in Cache Creek.

IH says in a news release that the Subway restaurant located at 1209 Highway 97 in Cache Creek is where the positive case was identified.

“As an additional precaution, Interior Health is asking people who visited this Subway restaurant on March 25, 26, and 27 to self-isolate and monitor for symptoms until April 10 or 14 days from the time of their visit,” the release states.

IH says if customers remain healthy and do not develop symptoms, they can return to routine activities 14 days after the date of their visit.

“If customers develop respiratory symptoms, they need to self-isolate at home for a minimum of 10 days from the time their symptoms develop and until symptoms resolve,” IH says.

Testing is not required for those with mild respiratory symptoms but if they worsen — particularly for those who are older or immunocompromised — call 8-1-1 or your healthcare provider.

“Please note that community transmission of COVID-19 has been detected in communities across the Interior Health region. All communities should assume COVID-19 cases are present and take appropriate precautions.”
