BC health officials added, “As we see new COVID-19 hot spots emerge and the new cases creep up in every health authority, we have to keep our firewall strong. Like a wildfire, COVID-19 has the potential to rapidly burn out of control and we need to put out these flare-ups. Today, more than 1,500 people throughout our province are self-isolating, unable to leave their home unless it is to get medical care because they have COVID-19 or have had a high-risk exposure to the virus”.

Two-thirds of the people self-isolating are in the Fraser Health Authority.

11 individuals are currently hospitalized with COVID-19, four of whom are in intensive care

There are no new community outbreaks, however, there has been one new health care facility outbreak in the Fraser Region.
