    B.C. reports 33 more people in hospital with COVID-19, 11 more in ICU
    Province records 2,364 new cases of the disease, 9 more deaths
    CBC News · Posted: Jan 21, 2022 4:28 PM PT | Last Updated: 7 minutes ago

    B.C. health officials reported 924 people in hospital with COVID-19 on Friday, including 130 in intensive care, as the province recorded nine more deaths from the disease and 2,364 new cases.

    The new numbers represent an increase of 33 COVID-19 patients hospitalized within the last 24 hours, including 11 more patients in the ICU.

    Overall hospitalizations, which typically lag behind spikes and dips in new cases, are up by 43 per cent from last Friday, when 646 people were in hospital with the disease

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

    The number of patients in intensive care is up from 95 a week ago and up by 71 per cent from a month ago when 76 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.

    There are currently 33,997 recorded active cases of people infected with the novel coronavirus in B.C.

    The provincial death toll from COVID-19 is now 2,529 lives lost out of 308,079 confirmed cases to date.

    There are a total of 62 active outbreaks in assisted living, long-term, and acute care facilities...

                B.C. reports 28 more people in hospital with COVID-19, 5 more in the ICU and 13 more deaths
                977 people in hospital with the disease
                CBC News · Posted: Jan 27, 2022 3:43 PM PT | Last Updated: 5 minutes ago

                B.C. health officials reported 977 people hospital with COVID-19 on Thursday, including 141 in intensive care, as the province recorded 13 more deaths from the disease and 2,033 new cases.

                The new numbers represent an increase of 28 COVID-19 patients hospitalized within the last 24 hours, including five more patients in the ICU.

                Overall hospitalizations, which typically lag behind spikes and dips in new cases, are up by 9.7 per cent from last Thursday, when 891 people were in hospital with the disease.

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

                The number of patients in intensive care is up by about 18.5 per cent from 119 a week ago and up by 114 per cent from a month ago when 66 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.

                As of Thursday, 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 29,556 recorded active cases of people infected with the novel coronavirus in B.C.
