The good news is that over the holiday weekend, new COVID-19 case counts in B.C. remained around 500 or less.
Unfortunately, there’s a catch: B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said at today’s B.C. COVID-19 briefing that she believes that part of the reason that numbers are down is because people haven t been testing as much over the holiday weekend.
She said testing has been reduced by as much as 50 percent in some places.
“Partly it’s people don’t want to be tested and have to isolate before this holiday, which is worrisome,” she said, “because we know that people are getting together some people and even it’s just your household, you may bring this into your household and spread it to them.”
