Several B.C. hospitals and long term care facilities have seen a spike in COVID-19 cases recently according to the provincial health ministry, but these cases are not being named or reported publicly.

In a response to questions from CBC about COVID-19 outbreak declarations at acute care and long-term care facilities, the B.C. ministry of health confirmed that in some cases an outbreak is no longer reported even when there is a spike in cases due to spread at the hospital or care home.

Instead, “enhanced measures” are put in place without alerting the public.

    People are dying of the seasonal flu too, it’s become apart of life. Why should we care anymore if it’s just become another seasonal flu.

        Exactly, who cares anymore. It’s just the Canadian government whining about COVID.

          Yeah, not what I meant.

          But do go on denying the severity of COVID.
