Three administrative workers at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver have tested positive for COVID-19.

Vancouver Coastal Health says they are in self-isolation at home and are recovering.

The health authority says they have not worked in the hospital's clinical areas.

The authority's medical health officers are investigating the source of the transmission and following up with other staff members who might have had close contact with the infected employees.

Starting today, the health authority says only family members are allowed to visit the hospital, out of an abundance of caution.

There are no restrictions on patient access.
