The COVID-19 outbreak at Hogarth Riverview Manor now includes the Birch Resident Home Area.

Officials report Saturday that an individual contracted the virus in the facility.

This follows an outbreak declaration Thursday involving four cases in the Spruce Grove Resident Home area.

The first outbreak was declared by officials for the Marigold Resident Home Area on January 5th.

The Health Unit, in cooperation with St. Joseph’s Care Group, is conducting a thorough assessment of the situation.
