Second day of testing at Big White Ski Resort following a few positive cases of COVID-19

Share On

Interior Health says it is carrying out a second day of testing at Big White Ski Resort following a few positive cases of COVID-19, and reports of partying on the mountain.

The resort's senior vice-president says the company knows there are people residing on the mountain who have probably been gathering when they should be.

Interior Health says the cases of COVID-19 detected are related to transmission caused by social activity in homes and accommodations.

Senior vice-president Michael Ballingall says testing is underway to determine who else may have contracted the virus.

He says young people tend to think they aren't affected by the virus, but some have tested positive.

Ballingall says the reports of the virus have scared younger staff members.
