An outbreak was initially declared Saturday in the part of St. Joseph’s Villa that houses a hair salon catering to residents of the long-term-care home, with four salon workers reported to be infected. The on-site beauty salon and barbershop at St. Joseph’s Villa reopened on June 30, but was closed again after the outbreak was declared. The insider said at least one of the salon workers was unvaccinated. The vaccination status of the other salon workers is unknown. As of July 11, 91 per cent of staff had received their first COVID-19 vaccine dose and 77 per cent were fully vaccinated.
