COVID-19 continues to silently circulate in BC communities, provincial health officials said today.
Early on, many long-term care and assisted living facilities were impacted, but most new cases now are in the broader community. The increase in new cases in recent days made provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix “concerned.”
“No one wants to get sick with COVID-19, nor do we want to inadvertently pass it onto others,” said Henry. “While the symptoms can be mild, it is a complex illness that has serious consequences.
Dix and Henry also announced 21 new cases today, including two epi-linked cases, for a total of 3,149 in British Columbia. ‘Epi-linked’ means that public health investigations have shown that cases meet the case definition for COVID-19 but may not have been tested for a number of reasons.
There were no new related deaths, healthcare facility outbreaks or community outbreaks.
