Some success in curve flattening was relayed in addition to the review of the cases of COVID noted over the last 24 hours, with both making for the key elements of Dr. Bonnie Henry's COVID statement for the day.
“Today, we are announcing 102 new cases, including one epi-linked case, for a total of 9,841 cases in British Columbia.
There are 1,384 active cases of COVID-19 in the province, 3,089 people who are under active public health monitoring as a result of identified exposure to known cases and 8,184 people who tested positive have recovered.
Currently, 71 individuals are hospitalized with COVID-19, 16 of whom are in intensive care. The remaining people are recovering at home in self-isolation.
There have been two new COVID-19 related deaths, for a total of 244 deaths in British Columbia. We offer our condolences to everyone who has lost their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic."
Across British Columbia the Regional Health Authority's have reached the following totals to date: 3,612 cases of COVID-19 in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 5,038 in the Fraser Health region, 221 in the Island Health region, 556 in the Interior Health region, 324 in the Northern Health region, that an increase of two from Monday.
90 cases of coronavirus have been reported in people who reside outside of Canada.
British Columbia officials have noted that some progress has been made towards once again flattening the curve of COVID in this province.
“People are doing the right thing and, as evidenced by the latest modelling data, individual actions are making a difference for all of us to stay safe and strong in the face of COVID-19.
Public health measures are a part of our ‘new normal.’ As a result, we are starting to flatten our curve once again.
There is no question that what we do today directly influences the well-being of our communities tomorrow, so let’s continue to do our part to protect ourselves and each other – each day and every day."
