An outbreak of COVID-19 has been declared at Saskatoon's largest shelter. The Lighthouse Supported Living Inc., located in the city's downtown, was placed under outbreak status on Friday after two people — a client and a staff member — tested positive for COVID-19. The positive tests, which came weeks apart, have resulted in some staff at the shelter being asked to self-isolate. The initial case involved a person living at a Lighthouse residence in the community, Windels said, while the second was recorded in a staff member at the organization's downtown shelter. Windels said the first person to test positive at the shelter has since been cleared, and the staff member who tested positive remains in isolation.
