There is an increasing number of cases of COVID-19 variants of concern as the third wave of the pandemic sweeps across BC.
On Friday, the province reported it has found more than four-thousand cases to date that are confirmed variants of concern.
This includes 3,082 cases of the B.1.1.7 (U.K.) variant, 55 cases of the B.1.351 (South Africa) variant and 974 cases of the P.1 (Brazil) variant.
More than a year into the pandemic, people have grown weary of health protocols and restrictions; many are letting down their guard.
