British Columbia has fared well compared with many other jurisdictions across the world, but still this battle has been exhausting and frustrating. We are all tired. With a few exceptions, the provincial strategy has treated all of B.C. the same when it comes to implementing restrictions, despite the rate of outbreaks and case numbers being drastically different across health authority jurisdictions. Vancouver Island continues to be the bright spot in terms of provincial COVID numbers. Since Oct. 12, 2020 (before the rigid restrictions of November), we represented 3.7 per cent of total new cases. Since April 6, when the latest additional restrictions or “circuit breaker” restrictions were imposed, including the strict travel restrictions, Vancouver Island represents only 3.8 per cent of new cases.
