B.C. has recorded 199 new COVID-19 cases over the past 24 hours — the third day in a row that the province recorded daily new case numbers below 200.
Two more people in B.C. have died. For the first time in a long while, fewer than 100 cases were recorded in the Fraser Health region, previously considered a hot spot for the virus.
Dr. Reka Gustafson of the BCCDC said she’s optimistic about the declining case counts.
“I have often said that immunization is considered to be the greatest public health achievement of the 20th century,” she told On the Coast host Gloria Macarenko.
“I think it’s really incredible to watch and to reflect on what vaccines have done for us in the past with diseases that we know from history books that we don’t see [aymore], like polio, and what it is doing today with an infection that’s profoundly changed our lives for the past 16 months.”
