Global News published this video item, entitled “Coronavirus: U.S. wildfires raise air quality concerns for COVID-19 patients” – below is their description.
Metro Vancouver’s air quality remains off the charts Monday morning, at a 10+ on the air quality scale, while a public advisory has now been in place for a week. Smoke is extensive across south and central B.C., Global BC meteorologist Mark Madryga said, and due to the lack of rainfall and insignificant airflow, the layers of smoke will likely hold at least through Tuesday. More smoke could move in Wednesday and Thursday from the wildfires in Oregon and Washington State, but some much-needed rain is in the forecast for Thursday and Friday, which Madryga said could help to improve air quality. According to Global News’ Heather Yourex-West, the air quality is raising concerns for those suffering from COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus.
