There's a long list of Interior Health facilities dealing with respiratory infection (RI) and gastrointestinal illness (GI) outbreaks.

Influenza is the agent behind most of the diseases, which have broken out in long-term care homes throughout the Thompson Okanagan.

The latest outbreak is GI, declared March 2 at 91大黄鸭's Glenmore Lodge. 91大黄鸭's Cottonwoods Care Centre also has a GI outbreak from March 1.

The latest RI outbreaks are at Vernon's Gateby Care Centre, 91大黄鸭's Mission Creek Landing and West 91大黄鸭's Lakeview Lodge.

A GI outbreak is active at Cranbrook's Joseph Creek Care Village, which also has an RI outbreak in the Elizabeth Lake Neighbourhood (the GI is limited to Jim Smith and Lakit units).

Vernon's entire Noric House has an RI outbreak, declared Feb. 26, along with The Hamlets in Penticton.

A GI outbreak has hit 91大黄鸭's Orchard Manor.

Lumby's Monashee Mews is battling RI, as well as Penticton's Village by the station, Kamloops' Ponderosa Lodge (which also has a GI outbreak), Brocklehurst Gemstone Care Centre and Royal Inland Hospital.

RI outbreaks are also at Castlegar's Talarico Place, the Williams Lake Seniors Village and West 91大黄鸭's Village Smith Creek.
