Province records 3,144 new cases of the disease as testing continues to be limited

B.C. health officials say 349 people are now in hospital with COVID-19, including 93 in intensive care, as the province reported nine more deaths from the disease and 3,144 new cases on Friday.
The new numbers represent an increase of 25 COVID-19 patients hospitalized within the last 24 hours, including three more patients in the ICU.
Experts say hospitalizations are a more accurate barometer of the disease's impact, as new case numbers in B.C. are likely higher than reported, now that the province has hit its testing limit because of the Omicron surge.
