Also on April 17, IH declared a human metapneumovirus (HMPV) outbreak in the Hollywood Unit of Kelowna's long-term care facility Sun Pointe Village.
The outbreaks list is updated when new outbreaks are declared in a facility. Outbreaks are listed for the following types of infections and illnesses:

When an outbreak is over, the facility is removed from the list.
