Alternate care site not needed
The Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday that the alternate care site located at the Vancouver Convention Centre will be demobilized as the number of active COVID-19 cases continues to decrease in the province.
According to a news release, the site was one of several established throughout B.C. in April 2020 in case there was a significant influx of patients due to the pandemic.
"I thank everyone who transformed the Vancouver Convention Centre into an alternate care site," said Health Minister Adrian Dix.
