COVID-19 in B.C: Almost 470 people are now in hospital battling the virus
By Amy Judd Global News
Posted January 11, 2022 7:01 pm

Another 38 people battling COVID-19 have been admitted to hospital in B.C., bringing that total to 469.

Meanwhile, another two people are in intensive care for a total of 97 province-wide.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Tuesday there are currently three people in their 20s and one person in their 30s in intensive care with COVID. She said all of them are unvaccinated.

A further three people have died from the virus in the past 24 hours, which includes a person in their 30s...

...In the past 24 hours, another 2,239 cases have been confirmed in B.C. and there are now 36,087 active cases.

Since the start of the pandemic, there have been a total of 286,080 cases of the virus.

Henry said at a media briefing Tuesday that while the province is still riding the Omicron variant wave, “we may soon enter the place we see a decline.”

Those without vaccination are at a higher risk of ending up in hospital, she added, and while vaccinated people can still contract Omicron, vaccination reduces the risk of hospitalization to about 50 per cent...

B.C. reports 41 more people in hospital with COVID-19, 3 more in the ICU and 13 more deaths
Province records 2,387 new cases of the disease
CBC News · Posted: Jan 19, 2022 4:52 PM PT | Last Updated: 9 minutes ago

B.C. health officials reported 895 people in hospital with COVID-19 on Wednesday, including 115 in intensive care, as the province recorded 13 more deaths from the disease and 2,387 new cases.

The new numbers represent an increase of 45 COVID-19 patients hospitalized within the last 24 hours, including three more patients in the ICU.

Due to a data reporting change introduced Friday, Jan. 14, week-to-week hospitalization comparisons won't be available again until Friday, Jan. 21.

The number of patients in intensive care is up by about 12.7 per cent from 102 a week ago and up by 49.4 per cent from a month ago when 77 people were 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 much higher than reported, now that the province has hit its testing limit because of the Omicron surge.

On Tuesday during a live news conference, Health Minister Adrian Dix said more than 95 per cent of B.C.'s hospital bed capacity is currently occupied with regular as well as COVID-19 patients.

Dix said that 8,778 base beds were in use out of a total capacity of 9,229 beds. He said there were an additional 2,353 surge beds, 570 of which were occupied.

As of Wednesday, 22.1 per cent of COVID-19 tests in B.C. are coming back positive, according to the province's COVID-19 dashboard.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has said that anything above a five per cent test-positivity rate indicates a concerning level of community transmission.

There are currently 35,770 recorded active cases of people infected with the novel coronavirus in B.C...
