VANCOUVER A Burnaby barber shop has been added to Fraser Health s list of possible COVID-19 exposures, joining two other shops in the region that were added to the list on Wednesday. The latest entry on the list is Fresh Cuts Barber Shop, located at 4743 Hastings St. in Burnaby. The possible coronavirus exposure there happened on Thursday, April 15, from noon to 8 p.m., according to the health authority. Anyone who was at the shop during those hours should self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19, seeking testing and self-isolating if any develop, Fraser Health says. The health authority says the possible exposure is believed to be low risk, and there is no known risk to anyone who was at the shop outside of the specified hours.

There have been some glimmers of hope.
Active cases and monitored people have decreased in numbers for several consecutive days now. Also, B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry had stated during her presentation on April 19 that there are signs that B.C.’s curve has slowly begun to bend.
The primary area of concern, however, remains hospitalized cases, which continues to rise and is approaching 500 cases.
The number of deaths was also high today.
There are also 11 flights with exposures and three businesses temporarily closed by health authorities due to COVID-19.
