Starting on Wednesday, the BCCDC will release more detailed COVID\u002D19 surveillance data on infection rates, variants of concern and vaccination rates broken down by community health service area.
During question period, Dix said the government has made a “political decision” to support public health officers, implying that anyone asking for more data is not supportive of health officials.
Ontario and Alberta, for example, regularly release neighbourhood-specific figures on daily COVID rates, variant cases, active cases and vaccination rates. Toronto Public Health also releases COVID-19 figures based on race and ethnicity, which has shown that Black communities have been disproportionately infected with the virus. Quebec releases industry-specific COVID-19 figures that show the rate of infection spread in certain occupations and detailed information on infections in schools.
