Outbreak Update: 20 January 2017

Comunity - -

Yesterday we received identification that the cause of the outbreak is norovirus (commonly known as stomach flu). And we’re not alone: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/influenza-flu-bc-respiratory-winter-vomiting-bug-1.3941381

Our active cases are down substantially from the onset but we are not out of the woods yet. In the meantime, we have been in daily communication with officials at Toronto Public Health. With everyone’s vigilance and a bit of luck, hopefully we can soon report the end of the outbreak and full resumption of programs.
