“We are pleased to hear that our team seems to be recovering well — symptoms are resolving, and many of the workers are reporting their readiness and willingness to come back to work,” said nursery staff.
The nursery says it’s working closely with the Interior Health Authority to support their guest workers and to ensure all sanitation processes, operational practices and employee housing situations “meets and exceeds its recommendations.”
It’s yet to be announced when the nursery will be reopening, but staff say they’re working closely with IH to ensure when they do reopen, it’s safe to do so.
