The regional health authority said it is working with the facility to support the implementation of enhanced control measures, and trying to identify anyone who may have been exposed.
It has committed to supporting staffing levels to maintain resident care, restricting visitors to the facility, managing staff and resident movements within the home, and enhancing cleaning and infection control measures.
Residents, families and staff are being notified, and the facility will be conducting screening of all staff and residents twice a day.
The 148-bed LTC is owned and operated by Fraser Health, and located on the grounds of the Ridge Meadows Hospital.
