Provincial health officer Bonnie Henry said B.C. has seen “uptick” in COVID-19 cases and hospitalization especially in the Lower Mainland and predicts that the influenza and respiratory syncytial virus season could “peak” next week.
She made these comments Wednesday (Jan. 10) while giving an update on the respiratory illness season. Health Minister Adrian Dix joined her in giving the update.
She said the respiratory illness season is unfolding in a way that was familiar before the COVID-19 pandemic with the end of the holidays, the return of children to school and people spending more time indoors.
