Interior Health keeping a close eye on Blue Grotto COVID-19 spread and Overlander outbreak
KAMLOOPS — Interior Health says an ongoing outbreak at a local long term care facility and COVID-19 spread at a downtown nightclub are both still on their radar.
Following a live music show Oct. 14 at the Blue Grotto nightclub, where more than 20 cases were identified, Interior Health Medical Health Officer Dr. Carol Fenton says the communicable disease specialists are still gathering data.
“We’re up to 21 cases now that we are aware of. We’re still exploring multiple hypotheses for how this may have happened because it’s quite unusual. And we’re working closely with the operator. We’re helping them to reopen for this weekend with additional safety measures as our investigation continues.”
