It is another record-breaking day for COVID-19 in British Columbia.
B.C. Health Officials say active cases, hospitalizations and critical care cases have surpassed previous highs.
There are 10,052 active cases in B.C and of those, 409 are in hospital and 125 are in ICU, beating yesterday’s record-breaking total of 397.
These numbers come as the province reports 1,205 new cases today (Thursday), including 66 in Northern Health, where the total is 6687.
B.C. has now seen 116,075 total cases since the onset of the pandemic.
“It is important to keep in mind that of the people we are seeing every day – whether at work, running errands or outside – someone is likely to have COVID-19. The more people we see, the higher that likelihood will be. That is why staying small and staying local is key right now,” said Provincial Health Officer Doctor Bonnie Henry.
