MERRITT, B.C. — The B.C. Liberals are calling on the NDP government to increase transparency around the reporting of COVID-19 cases, especially in schools, long-term care facilities, and hospitals.
“Access to clear, consistent, and understandable data is essential in helping people better understand the risks of this virus and make more informed decisions as we enter the second year of this pandemic,” said Renee Merrifield, BC Liberal Health Critic and MLA for Kelowna-Mission. “Although there has been some progress in recent weeks, the B.C. government remains far behind other jurisdictions in providing frequent, granular data to the public, and it is having negative impacts on British Columbians.”
