B.C. is reporting 44 deaths in people who tested positive, but that number is likely to change
Jun 02, 2022
The number of patients in B.C. hospitals with COVID-19 appears to have fallen again, according to the province’s latest reports on the pandemic.
As of Wednesday, 421 people are in hospital with the novel coronavirus, including 41 in intensive care, according to the B.C. COVID-19 dashboard.
That’s a decrease of 12 per cent in overall hospitalizations from last Thursday, when the province reported 473 people in hospital. The number of patients in critical care is down two per cent from 42 a week ago.
All of the numbers provided by the province are preliminary, and it’s difficult to draw any definitive conclusions on trends. Under B.C.’s current system for reporting COVID-19 data, numbers that are released for any given week will be retroactively adjusted and often change significantly by the time the next reports are released.
The numbers released Thursday are part of a relatively recent change in approach from B.C. health officials, both in the move to weekly reporting and in how certain metrics are calculated.
