There's some good COVID-19 news in Northern Health. 

The health authority says outbreak protocols are being lifted at Rotary Manor in Dawson Creek in all but one unit after an outbreak was declared on Nov. 2.

Two men have passed away at the manor to date, one in his 70s and another in his 80s. 

Alerts are declared over once there are no further exposure concerns from confirmed cases, for a period of 28 days (two consecutive 14-day COVID-19 incubation periods).

The one area that will still remain under alert is the Rotary Manor’s Special Care Unit. 

Northern Health says pre-arranged social visits can also resume for residents and families for most of the facility, as they were before the outbreak was declared.

"Public health officials will continue to monitoring the Special Care Unit until the exposure risk period has passed for that area as well," the health authority said in a statement on Nov. 27.
