The outbreak is limited to neuromedicine units 6A and 6B and no other areas at the hospital are affected. Island Health said VGH remains a safe place to attend and people should still seek emergency care, should they need it.

Victoria’s Luther Court long-term care home outbreak was declared over on Tuesday. Outbreaks at the Saanich Peninsula’s Sidney All Care and Sidney Care Home long-term care sites were also over as of Tuesday.
