BC announces 41 new cases of COVID-19 over the past 24 hours

The provincial government has announced 41 new cases of COVID-19 in British Columbia during their daily update.

That brings the total number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic to 3,562, with 3,109 people having fully recovered.

At the moment, only six people are in hospital due to COVID-19 and two of them are in intensive care.

There were no new deaths related to COVID-19 over the past 24 hours.

On a positive note, the outbreak at St. Paul’s Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit has been declared over.

Just one long-term care facility and one acute-care facility currently have active outbreaks.

There are now 20 cases on Haida Gwaii and 31 cases connected to Fraser Valley Packers Inc. in Abbotsford.

That means 22 of the province’s new cases since Monday are connected to those two outbreaks.

“Public health teams continue to support these active outbreaks,” said a release from the Government of BC.

“Of note, there are no health concerns related to the consumption of fruit from Fraser Valley Packers Inc.”
