For the first time, B. C. has reported suspected cases of multisistmic inflammatory syndrome in children, a condition known as MIS-C that is related to COVID-19.
Eight possible cases were identified, Henry said, but none had tested positive for coronavirus, been in contact with the coronavirus, or developed antibodies.
The five children and 3 women were hospitalized.
“MIS-C is very similar to a disease of years of rare formation known as Kawasaki disease. And we’ve noticed that young people have this disease every year,” Henry said.
“Fortunately, most patients with any of these disorders are fully recovering, as are the other 8 people here in British Columbia.
The province has started reporting such due to an override in national case definitions, he added.
PREVIOUSLY, JC health officials also released new, more detailed knowledge indicating where cases had been reported in the province.
“Virtually every space in our province has been affected by COVID-19, giant, small communities and geographically dispersed communities,” Henry said.
“These are cases that have been tested or were epidemiologically similar to COVID-19, and we know that there are other people who have become inflamed with COVID-19, especially the March and April period, when we had limited evidence. “
About a third of A. C. cases were now similar to events, a third to network families and teams, about a third to other exposure events, adding long-term care equipment and homes, Henry said.
The number of other remote people due to imaginable exposure also increased from 80 to 2,810.
Twenty-two other people remained in the hospital, seven of them in intensive care.
Approximately 79% of the 5,372 in British Columbia have recovered.
