Another 33 people are said to have died while infected with COVID-19
Metrics tracking the COVID-19 pandemic in B.C. showed that the disease has waned as summer weather encourages people to get outside.
The number of those who have tested positive for the virus and are in B.C. hospitals has fallen to 306 as of today, according to the government. That's the lowest that figure has been since June 30, when there were 273 such people identified. One week ago, the government data said 331 British Columbians were in hospitals with the virus.
Glacier Media has asked the Ministry of Health why the death toll consistently rises more than the number of new deaths but has not received a satisfactory explanation. The ministry's most recent response was that the data "may be incomplete," but there has never been any updates to previously announced weekly death totals.
