PRINCE GEORGE – BC Health Officials are reporting a record-breaking 45 new cases of COVID-19 in Northern Health as BC counts another 834 cases of the virus provincially.

12 additional people have died as a result of the virus, a total of 469 people have lost their lives from COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.

“We hope and expect that vaccines will be ready in the next few weeks,” says Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. “This is part of the solution, but it is going to be some time before we get there.”

There are 331 people in hospital in BC with COVID-19, 71 of whom are in intensive care units.

Dr. Henry says health officials are continuing to see community transmission that is ‘concerning’.

In other health regions, Fraser Health made up the majority of the cases with 529 reported in the Fraser Valley, 174 in Vancouver Coastal Health, 66 in Interior Health, and 20 within the Vancouver Island Health region.

BC Health Officials also stressed the need to not travel, as it continues to be linked with transmission of COVID-19, noting a hockey team within BC’s interior who travelled to Alberta and are now seeing dozens of cases, and have caused cases within their community.
