Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 10 Nov, 2023 10:47 AM
  • COVID19 activity slumping in BC

The sharp uptick in B-C's COVID-19 activity may be waning, according to the latest data from the province's Centre for Disease Control.

Numbers show new hospitalizations dropped to 144 in the week ending November 4th, down from 296 three weeks earlier.

Statistics also show the percentage of positive tests under B-C's medical service plan falling to below 16 per cent, down from a peak of 23 per cent five weeks earlier.

The data does show a small uptick in influenza activity, but the B-C C-D-C says the overall numbers are still low.
