Big White Covid cluster contained

Three months after it began, a Covid-19 cluster at Big White Resort is now contained.

Interior Health made that declaration today.

The cluster was initially declared on Dec. 15, 2020 at the resort east of Kelowna, and a total of 237 cases were connected to it. Of the cases, 150 have resided and/or worked on the mountain.

All the cases have recovered.

“Thanks to the efforts of those living and working at Big White following precautions, the cluster has been contained,” Dr. Silvina Mema, medical health officer, said. “As well, the local community and team at Big White have been incredibly supportive and worked hard to keep the ski hill safe for visitors this winter.”
