COVID-19 update: B.C. reports first increase in hospitalizations in weeks

Published March 23, 2022 6:24 p.m. EDT

For the first time in weeks, the B.C. government has reported an increase in the number of COVID-19-positive patients in hospital.

There are 258 of those patients hospitalized across the province as of Wednesday, according to the Ministry of Health.

While that's an increase of just four patients from Tuesday's count, every pandemic update from the ministry since Feb. 7 has reported a decrease.

Some of the people included in B.C.'s total were hospitalized for reasons unrelated to COVID-19, then tested positive on routine screening.

One new coronavirus-related death has been reported in the Northern Health region, leaving the provincial death toll at 2,975.

The government also announced another 269 confirmed COVID-19 cases, which pushed B.C.'s seven-day average to 210 per day – the second increase in a row.

Daily case numbers only track the results of PCR tests, which are not available to most people with coronavirus symptoms. There has been a slight increase in test-positivity, however, meaning that a higher percentage of those who do qualify are being found to have COVID-19...
