Nearly three month long COVID-19 outbreak at BC Hydro worksite declared over

The COVID-19 outbreak at the BC Hydro Site C worksite in Fort St John is now over.

Northern Health says there have been no new cases associated with the outbreak since September 15.

In total, 92 lab confirmed cases were connected to the outbreak, all of which have since recovered.

The outbreak was declared on August 16, and BC Hydro also recently announced a vaccine policy for its employees and contractors, including workers on the Site C project.

A number of enhanced infection control measures such as mandatory mask-wearing, physical distancing on worksites, and the use of rapid testing for case and contact management will remain in place at Site C, indefinitely.
