Harrison Hot Springs – Fraser Health has closed the mineral pools at the Harrison Resort until Monday after two complaints of people coming down with rashes.

They received two complaints, one in January and one recently.
The rash has symptoms related to a bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics.
