COVID reports appear to be in a yo-yo format for the moment, with today's case count making for an increase of the numbers from yesterday, with the Thursday jump in cases totalling an additional 152 from this time yesterday.
The number of British Columbians to die in this 24 hour period, mirrored yesterdays record setting total of 13.
The full review was delivered by statement today.
“Today, we are reporting 887 new cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, including three epi-linked cases, for a total of 29,973 cases in British Columbia.
There are 7,899 active cases of COVID-19 in the province. There are 294 individuals currently hospitalized with COVID-19, 64 of whom are in intensive care.
The remaining people are recovering at home in self-isolation.
Currently, 10,307 people are under active public health monitoring as a result of identified exposure to known cases and 19,998 people who tested positive have recovered.
“There have been 13 new COVID-19 related deaths, for a total of 384 deaths in British Columbia. We offer our condolences to everyone who has lost their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Across the province the latest one day results from each Health Authority are as follows: 168 new cases of COVID-19 in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 612 in the Fraser Health region, 18 in the Island Health region, 65 in the Interior Health region, 24 in the Northern Health region bringing the Northern Health region total to 737 since January.
There were no new cases of people who reside outside of Canada.
The focus on continuing with the measures that have been put in place made for the majority of the message of the day portion from today's update.
“Slow and steady is what we need with COVID-19 and it is how we will get through this second wave. The efforts we make each day make a difference.
Let’s support our public health teams, which are tirelessly working to track the virus, break the chain of transmission and keep all of us safe. The best way to do that is for each of us to keep to as few faces as possible right now.
Exposures and transmission can happen anywhere. By paying attention to the places we go and the people we see, we can help contact tracers contain the further spread if that does occur.
Even though we may be staying small right now, that doesn’t stop us from staying connected and staying active. You can go outside, try a local restaurant you haven’t been to before with your family or connect with friends virtually.
Let’s focus on our health and well-being by taking care of each other and ourselves, and doing all we can to protect our communities and each other.”
