B.C.'s daily COVID-19 caseloads may be dropping, but positivity rates locally and provincially are still high. Northern Health's seven-day moving average for a lab-confirmed detection of the virus is currently marked at 11.8 per cent, according to data from the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC). The regional authority shares that same number with Fraser Health, per the latest rate calculation on Monday (April 26), while B.C. collectively sits at 9.4 per cent. In comparison, Island Health is at 3.2 per cent, Vancouver Coastal Health at eight per cent, and Interior Health at 7.7 per cent. Yesterday (April 27), the province recorded 799 new cases, one of the lowest days in recent weeks, but only 8,596 tests completed, which is roughly a nine per cent positivity rate.
