Health officials in British Columbia have found 131 more cases of COVID-19 since Friday, bringing the provincial total to 4,065 cases since the pandemic began.
Most of the new cases were discovered Saturday, when 50 cases were reported. On Sunday, officials discovered 37 new cases and on Monday there were 44 new cases found.
Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced two new outbreaks at B.C. health-care facilities Monday, both in the Fraser Health region. "The numbers that we see from the past few days have reflected the intense work that my colleagues across the province in public health are doing on tracking down those people," Henry said. "We're doing what we call social network analysis to make sure that we're finding people. And many of those people – the vast majority of those people who tested positive over the past three days – are people who were on our contact list.
B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix said the province is in a "moment in the pandemic" where health officials have slowed the death toll while case numbers continue to climb.
