For other #InteriorHealth communities such as #Merrit, #Lilooet, #Oliver and #Creston, temporary closures have become a common occurrence.

Since Jan. 1, there have been 62 temporary closures — which Interior Health calls temporary service interruptions — including 28 so far in July.

In #DawsonCreek, the local emergency room was closed over the weekend due to nursing coverage challenges and Chetwynd Hospital will be on diversion Monday evening. (3/4)
