The gastrointestinal outbreak at Mountain Lake Seniors Community in Nelson has grown to 43 cases.
Interior Health says 24 cases are residents of the long-term care facility and 19 are staff. That’s up from 16 resident cases last week.
The outbreak began May 22. It’s the only one at a West Kootenay facility at the moment, although there have been others recently at Jubilee Manor in Nelson as well as at facilities in Trail and Creston.
