COVID-19 cases in Richmond rose last week, after four consecutive weeks of declining numbers.
New data from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control revealed there were 37 new cases among Richmondites between Oct. 24 and 30. The previous week there were 29.

There are 4,373 active cases of COVID-19 in B.C. and 137 people are in intensive care. The number of people in hospital was not included in today’s report due to a data error.
