| A week of stellar results for most communities of the Northwest with all but one community registering new case totals in the single digits |
Another week of impressive results for Prince Rupert's COVID situation were released by the BC CDC today; with the weekly data review showing just two new cases of COVID reported in the community for the week of April 18-24.
That makes for one less than last week's outstanding mark of just three cases reported, an indication of the strong impact that the community wide vaccination program of March has had in bringing the once accelerating case count for Prince Rupert to heel.
The very rewarding results for the city coming with one key note to remember, that being the sad news of last Friday, when we learned of one more resident of Prince Rupert's Acropolis Manor having passed from COVID-19, making for the seventeenth such passing since January.
The most outstanding results of the week were found in Terrace which saw a significant decline from 29 cases of COVID reported one week ago to just 7 over the last seven days.
As for the rest of the Northwest, this week also provides good news of declines in case counts across the region, with only Kitimat listed in double digits and at 10, just barely for this weeks review of communities west of Prince George.
Across the remainder of the Northwest, the cases reported from April 18-24 were as follows.
Kitimat -- 10
Nechako -- 9
Terrace -- 7
Smithers -- 5
Nisga'a Region -- 4
Burns Lake -- 2
The Central Coast, Bella Coola Valley, Snow Country-Stikine-Telegraph, Upper Skeena and Haida Gwaii regions all have reported no cases this week from the data review.
