A staff member at a long-term care home in Langley, B.C., that was hit hard by a COVID-19 outbreak earlier this year has tested positive for the disease. The not-for-profit home run by the Langley Care Society registered the single highest pandemic death toll of any long-term care facility in B.C. A total of 25 residents died from COVID-19 before the outbreak was declared over in early July. The health authority said visitors are restricted throughout the facility, and the movement of staff and residents has been restricted inside the centre. The facility is also enhancing its cleaning measures and screening residents and staff twice a day.
