Global News published this video item, entitled “COVID-19 restrictions extended throughout entire BC Interior Health region as cases surge | LIVE” – below is their description.
B.C. health officials are expected to provide an update Friday on the province’s response to COVID-19 as the situation continues to deteriorate, with 689 new cases reported and two more deaths.
The province’s top doctor, Dr. Bonnie Henry, and Health Minister Adrian Dix will provide the update.
Earlier this week, the BC COVID-19 Modelling Group issued its latest report, warning that children would be disproportionately affected in the growing fourth wave and that cases were on track in the population to “soon” eclipse record numbers if urgent action isn’t taken to curb transmission.
The report also concluded getting the province’s vaccination rate to 90 per cent of the population will not be enough to curb surging numbers on its own.
