Interior Health says there's been a community outbreak of COVID-19 among a group of temporary foreign workers living and working at a West Kelowna farm. Among the workers, 14 have tested positive for COVID-19, and 63 other migrant workers are now in isolation, with more test results pending. A health order was placed on Bylands Nurseries Ltd. Friday saying the group of workers must remain in quarantine in their on-site housing until further direction. Dr. Silvina Mema, the medical health officer with Interior Health, says the workers are not sharing one single accommodation and they have enough room to self-isolate. Dr. Mema says the workers came to Kelowna from Mexico between January and March 12.
