TteS says nurses from Interior Health and Qwemtsin Health have deemed no one within the buildings were or are at risk of exposure. An interview also confirmed that the worker followed health protocols in place at the facility and wore a mask, sanitized their hands upon entry, and practiced physical distancing.

Band administration says it will continue implementing current precautions and it recognizes the TteS community and staff want to have as much information as possible regarding COVID-19.

Any other Tk’emlúps employees who test positive for COVID-19 are asked to let their manager or supervisor know and contact Health and Safety Advisor Ron Tronson at (778) 220-6209.
