B.C. continues to endure its third wave in the COVID-19 pandemic, with a mix of good and bad news.
BC Centre for Disease Control officials detected 873 new infections in the past day, which may sound high, but it is the lowest number of cases identified in a 24-hour period since 832 cases were found on April 1. Health officials warned that the number may be revised because of a glitch in the reporting system.
The new cases raise the total number of COVID-19 infections in B.C. to 113,702, since researchers discovered the first infection in the province in January, 2020. Almost 90%, or 102,268 people, are deemed by the province to have recovered.
