Three BC emergency departments have closed due to staffing issues and local residents in need of medical care are being told to look elsewhere.

According to the Vancouver Sun, Interior Health hospitals in Ashcroft, Clearwater and Elkford have either closed fully or partially due to what health authorities are calling “unforeseen limited staffing availability.”

Residents seeking to access the emergency room’s are being told to dial 911 or drive one hour and a half away to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC.

Interior Health has not provided details on what has caused the staffing shortages or whether it’s pandemic-related. However, the BC Nurses Union publicly voiced its opposition to BC’s order to mandate vaccines for those working in the healthcare sector.
