There were 273 people with COVID-19 in B.C. hospitals Thursday, a total essentially unchanged from last week.
After several weeks of substantial declines in hospitalization numbers, the latest data from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control suggests the number of people in hospital with COVID-19 in the province may be stabilizing.
This graph shows the number of COVID-positive patients in hospital on Thursdays since the BCCDC switched to counting incidental hospitalizations in January 2022. The BCCDC includes both those who have severe cases of COVID-19 requiring hospitalization and those who are admitted to hospitals for other reasons and test positive incidentally in its weekly count.
Since the province switched to this"hospital census" model in January, the number of patients in hospital on a Thursday has been as high as 985 and as low as 255. Included in Thursday's total hospitalizations are 28 COVID-positive people who are receiving critical care.
