Global News published this video item, entitled “BC to release latest COVID modelling as Step 4 of reopening plan looms | LIVE” – below is their description.
B.C. health officials are expected to release new COVID-19 modelling data Tuesday afternoon.
Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix will be speaking at 12:30 p.m. PT.
The two faces of B.C.’s response to the pandemic will likely be looking at the connection between hospitalization and vaccination rates in the province.
B.C. is one week away from the earliest start date for Step 4 of the reopening plan.
The criteria for moving to Step 4 is that more than 70 per cent of people aged 18 and up have received at least one dose of vaccine, along with low case counts and low hospitalizations.
Early data already shows vaccines are working.
At the end of April, the average case count was more than 800 per day, with more than 500 people in hospital and 40 per cent vaccinated.
As of Monday, the daily average was 683, with 179 in hospital and just under 85 per cent of those aged 12 and older having received at least one dose.
