The number of COVID-19 instances continues to increase in British Columbia, and the province added 53 new instances on Friday (August 7) from the previous day.
No new deaths were reported for the seventh consecutive day in the province.
The most recent figures from the Ministry of Health raise the provincial total to 3,934 since the start of the pandemic, while 386 of these bodies remain active.
Eleven other people remain hospitalized, four of them in resuscitation.
The 53 new instances are a continued uptrend for the province in the summer.
The province reported new instances on Thursday and a day earlier 146 new instances were reported between July 31 and August 4.
“As we see new hot spots in emerging COVID-19 and new instances are spreading to all fitness authorities, we want to keep our firewall strong. Like a wildfire, COVID-19 has the chance to temporarily disappear and we want to put those outbreaks shut down, “BC Health Minister Adrian Dix, and provincial health official Bonnie Henry said in a joint statement.
The couple held a briefing on Friday.
Of the total number of instances in the province, 1,167 occurred in the Vancouver Coastal Health area; 2,069 in the Fraser Health Region; 147 in the island’s fitness region; 389 in the indoor fitness region; 93 in the Northern Health Region and 69 other cases of others living outdoors in Canada.
“There is no new network outbreak. However, there are still network occasions throughout the province and on flights to and from British Columbia,” Dix and Henry said.
“This is not the time to let your guard down. Let’s keep our bubbles small, use our protective layers and give other people the area to stay safe.”
Fraser Health demonstrated earlier in the day that a member of Derby Manor Long-Term Care Facility tested positive for COVID-19.
Lately there have been outbreaks in long-term care facilities or service apartments and an outbreak in an intensive care facility.
