A father in Burnaby is calling for rapid COVID-19 testing to be deployed in child-care centres after his toddler was infected with the virus during an outbreak at his daycare. Andrew Longhurst's 16-month-old son Levi tested positive for the coronavirus after the SFU Childcare Society notified parents of an exposure on Feb. 10. The SFU Childcare Society in Burnaby B.C. SFU Childcare Society is located on top of Burnaby mountain among a treed area on the west side of the Simon Fraser University campus. Two cohorts at the SFU Childcare Society have now been told to self-isolate and parents like Longhurst are scrambling to find alternative care.
