VANCOUVER -- For the second time in a week, health officials in British Columbia had no new deaths related to COVID-19 to report on Tuesday.

The province has credited the widespread vaccination of vulnerable seniors living in care homes for the declining number of deaths in recent weeks ? although they have also pointed out that the vaccine does not guarantee against outbreaks in those settings.

"We are all excited to get our COVID-19 vaccine, as not only do they provide protection, but also bring hope and renewal for all of us," provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix said in a joint written statement.

"The vaccines are protecting more and more seniors and Elders. They are also helping break the chains of transmission in our communities where we continue to see outbreaks and spread. This is critical to our pandemic response."

Meanwhile, B.C. is still seeing a slow uptick in COVID-19 infections. Officials announced 556 new cases on Tuesday, pushing the province's seven-day average to 544 per day ? the highest it's been since Jan. 13.

British Columbia has now recorded a total of 88,929 infections and 1,407 related deaths since the start of the pandemic.

Cases involving variants of concern are also quickly increasing in number. Henry and Dix announced another 116 confirmed variant cases Tuesday, bringing the provincial total to 996, 130 of which remain active.

The B.1.1.7 variant associated with the U.K. accounts for the vast majority of variant cases, at 921. The province has also confirmed 41 cases of the B.1.351 variant discovered in South Africa and 34 cases of the P.1 variant first identified in Brazil...

Saturday's update includes no data on deaths or variants of concern, limited information on hospitalization
Bethany Lindsay ? CBC News ? Posted: Apr 03, 2021 4:08 PM PT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago

B.C. health officials have announced 2,090 new cases of COVID-19 in the last two days, but have provided no information about deaths, variants of concern or the number of active cases.

In a written statement on Saturday, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix only provided data on the number of patients in critical care ? 90 ? but not the overall number of people in hospital with the disease.

The only explanation provided for the missing numbers was a note that "some data are not available over the long weekend."

The update is the first from the province since Thursday. The number of new cases in both of the last two days have broken previous records for one-day totals with 1,018 on Friday and 1,072 on Saturday...
 
The team added seven players to league's COVID protocol list on Saturday, bringing the total number of players to 14. Sources told ESPN that two coaches were added to the list, brining the total number of coaches in protocol to three.

Seven players and a coach were already on the list, prompting the NHL to postponed Canucks games until April 8, with the practice facility opening no sooner than April 6.

According to sources, the Canucks' recent additions to the protocol list could keep them out of action even longer. The Vancouver region has recently become a hotspot for the P.1 Brazilian variant of the virus.

328 people are now in hospital, including 96 who are in intensive care

Another 1,068 new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in B.C. and three more people have died of the disease, health officials announced Tuesday, as they warned that younger patients are now landing in intensive care.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said the number of patients in hospital with the novel coronavirus has risen to 328, including 96 who are in critical care. Of those in hospital, 63 have confirmed infections with faster-spreading variants of concern, Henry said.

The province has confirmed another 207 cases of these variants of concern, all but one of which are in the Vancouver Coastal Health region. To date, the province has seen 3,766 cases of these variants, including 266 cases that are still active.

Henry said much of the growing transmission that B.C. has seen in recent weeks can be linked to younger patients, who are increasingly ending up in intensive care. Often, that might mean younger people living in shared housing at a ski hill, working in restaurants or retail, and then gathering socially, passing the virus from one setting to the next.

"Unnecessary travel and social gatherings are fuelling the fire for the variants of concern," Henry said...

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry also announced on Thursday that the province will no longer be sequencing all positive COVID-19 cases to determine whether they are variants of concern, and instead will be assuming that all positive cases are a highly infectious variant.

"It is not OK to have friends and family over right now. It is not OK to go on a weekend getaway. That is not essential ? nor is your ski trip just because you have a pass. It is not OK to have a wedding, a birthday. All of these need to be postponed for now," she said.
