Interior Health (IH) is investigating the spread of COVID-19 in the resort municipality of Big White, where cases of the virus have been detected and attributed to social gatherings.

The health authority said social activity in homes and accommodations at the ski resort has caused some transmission, though it did not confirm the number of cases identified. IH has not declared the spread an outbreak.

Due to the remote circumstances of the people who reside at Big White, Interior Health has deployed a team to expedite testing.

As accommodations at Big White are often shared, IH states it is doing some asymptomatic testing to identify cases as early as possible.
