The health authority statement says there was a temporary ambulance diversion to Royal Jubilee Hospital for about two hours, but that has ended.

It says the emergency department at Victoria General Hospital remains open and able to provide care.

Leyne says Island Health isn’t releasing details of the workers’ conditions due to privacy considerations.
