COVID-19 in B.C.: New provisional record of 1,474 cases over the past 24 hours
Today (December 22), the Ministry of Health did not reveal the degree to which the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has spread across B.C.
Those numbers will come on Thursday (December 23).
But it's clear that the spread of COVID-19 is continuing briskly across the province.
B.C. has reported 1,474 cases over the last 24 hours. But the government emphasizes that these are "provisional due to a delayed data refresh and will be verified once confirmed".
If that number holds up, it will set a record for COVID-19 infections in B.C. over a 24-hour period, eclipsing the previous record of 1,308 recorded yesterday.
The six new deaths reported over the last 24 hours bring the total number of COVID-19 fatalities in B.C to 2,409 since March 2020.
The new/active cases include:
- 435 new cases in Fraser Health
- Total active cases: 2,277
- 711 new cases in Vancouver Coastal Health
- Total active cases: 2,952
- 113 new cases in Interior Health
- Total active cases: 683
- 39 new cases in Northern Health
- Total active cases: 195
- 176 new cases in Island Health
- Total active cases: 1,146
