| The latest date of COVID cases by local area over the last seven days from the BC CDC |
Prince Rupert remains the regional hot spot for COVID for another week with the latest data from the BC CDC marking the significant shift in the evolution of the coronavirus in the Northwest over the last month.
With today's release of information, Prince Rupert retains its position once again as the community with the most reported cases of COVID in a one week period, a placement that spikes upwards from last weeks report of 73 cases and doubles the reports for this week from Terrace
Prince Rupert's totals for the week of February 28 to March 6 are listed at 106 reported positive cases of the coronavirus, an increase of 33 from the week before and a trend that clearly contributed to the decision to embark on the large scale community wide vaccination program set to start next week.
It marks the fourth week in a row that Prince Rupert has outpaced the Skeena Valley City for the location with the most cases per week to report.
For one positive note from the last week, the case count for Haida Gwaii has declined significantly over the last seven days.
The BC Centre for Disease Conrol shares data on a weekly basis culled from Local Health Authority reports, the other areas of the Northwest outside of Prince Rupert and Terrace continued to show varied levels from region to region.
Across the remainder of the Northwest, the cases reported from February 28 to March 6 were as follows.
Terrace -- 53
Upper Skeena -- 18
Kitimat -- 14
Haida Gwaii -- 11
Nisga'a Region -- 6
Smithers -- 4
Nechako -- 1
