A Site C worker from Alberta has tested positive for COVID-19, BC Hydro confirmed this morning.
According to officials, the worker arrived at the Site C work camp in Fort St. John on July 13. Two days later - on July 15 - the worker received test results from Alberta Health Services indicating a positive for COVID, and the worker then immediately self-isolated in a room at a separate dormitory away from other workers.
Northern Health conducted a second test that confirmed the COVID-positive result on July 16.
"Prior to self-isolating, the worker had not left the camp or had any interactions with the local community," a BC Hydro statement said.
BC Hydro said it continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation at its facilities and have already implemented safety protocols in recent months to protect workers.
