Two residents have passed away in the COVID-19 outbreak at Amical Lions Gate facility in West Vancouver.

“Over the weekend, we were saddened to learn that two residents passed away after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier that week. They were both long-time residents who were an integral part of our community. They will be dearly missed,” the company said.

The company said it has numerous protocols in place to protect residents and team members including masking, screening, physical distancing and enhanced cleaning.

As an additional precaution, only essential visitors may visit at this time, and group dining and group activities are temporarily suspended.

At this time, there are six active resident COVID-19 cases and three active staff members who have COVID-19.

Of these, some are experiencing mild symptoms and some have no symptoms. Six staff members have recovered.
