Following a data correction noted yesterday, BC is today recording its highest single-day COVID-19 case count at 887.
Three of the new cases are epidemiologically linked. There have now been 29,973 cases in BC since the pandemic began. Of the total cases, 7,899 are active.
Since yesterday, there have been 168 new cases in the Vancouver Coastal Health region (including Richmond), 612 in the Fraser Health region, 18 in the Island Health region, 65 in the Interior Health region and 24 in the Northern Health region.
The same number of people are hospitalized with COVID-19 (294) as yesterday’s update, but the critical care occupancy increased by three to 64. Sadly, there were 13 new deaths, matching yesterday’s record high number. A further 10,307 people are under active public health monitoring.
There were two new healthcare facility outbreaks announced today and three existing outbreaks were declared over, leaving 56 active outbreaks in the healthcare sector.
"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,” said public health officials in a statement.
"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.”
