The Ladner Legion is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 cases.
The branch on Delta Street closed its doors on the weekend until further notice due to members calling to inform the legion they have tested positive.
Legion branch manager Jacky Hillairet told the Optimist the two members who tested positive did not get the virus from the legion.
She noted they did not have symptoms when they came in for dinner and started getting symptoms a couple of days later.
The friends they were seated with were tested and everyone is negative, she noted, adding they wanted to close for a short time to do a deep clean as an added precaution.
Noting the main concern is the safety of staff, members and guests, she said a special executive meeting was held to discuss the issue.
Meanwhile, Fraser Health has introduced a new online option to assist with contract tracing for people who have tested positive for COVID-19.
The online form on the health region’s website: www.fraserhealth.ca requires a person to fill out such information as potential exposure contacts. The health region will follow up with everyone identified in the form.
