With seven positive tests for COVID-19 traced to people in B.C. who have returned from the Kearl Lake oil sands project in northern Alberta, the B.C. government has issued an order of self-isolation for anyone who has returned to B.C. from that mine and processing plant.

B次元官网网址淩ight now I am ordering anybody who has been in the Kearl Lake project since March 15 and has returned to British Columbia that they must self-isolate for 14 days after their return,B次元官网网址� provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said April 20. B次元官网网址淔or many people, this will mean that their return was over 14 days ago. If they had symptoms during that time, or if they continue to have symptoms, we want you to connect with 8-1-1 and tell us about that.B次元官网网址�

Henry said there are more coronavirus test results pending on other workers, and Alberta health officials are working to contain the outbreak.
