B.C. health officials have announced 53 new cases of COVID-19, bringing the total number of coronavirus cases in the province to 3,934 since the pandemic began.
There are now 386 active cases of COVID-19 in B.C., including 11 people who are in hospital for treatment. Four people are in intensive care.
No new community outbreaks have appeared over the past 24 hours. However, health officials warn that several community “exposure events” continue across the province. Dix and Henry say that while the increase in cases is concerning, following basic health measures like physical distancing, avoiding large gatherings and wearing masks when it is hard to physically distance can help reverse the trend.
The vast majority of COVID-19 cases continue to be found in the province’s Lower Mainland. Since the pandemic began, 2,069 cases have been discovered in the Fraser Health region and 1,167 cases have been located in the Vancouver Coastal Health region.
