VANCOUVER — Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced 514 new cases of COVID-19 in British Columbia today, 57 in Northern Health.
Here’s the regional breakdown:
That brings the total number of cases in B.C. since the pandemic began to 66,779, 59,551 of those have recovered.
There are 4,557 active cases of the virus, 292 people are in hospital, 74 of whom are in critical or intensive care.
Sadly five more deaths, including one in Northern Health, for a total of 1,189 in B.C.
On the vaccine front, Henry said the B.C. government was told that the supply of Moderna vaccine distributed to our province will be 20 per cent less next week due to issues at the company’s processing plant.
That’s in addition to the fact that there will be no Pfizer vaccine deliveries next week, and reduced amounts the two weeks after that.
A total of 124,979 people in B.C. have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine while 4,262 people have received their second dose.
