During today’s provincial COVID-19 briefing, provincial health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, reported 1,068 new cases, and three additional deaths due to the virus.
There are also more than 200 new cases of variants of concern. Most of them are the UK variant of the virus, but there is also an increasing number of the Brazilian variant.
But in more hopeful news, the province had a smooth launch of a website that allows British Columbians to register for their COVID-19 immunization. The site allows people to register online, and then get contacted once their age group is eligible for the vaccine.
Today, some groups became eligible to book an appointment for the vaccine; those born in 1950 or earlier, Indigenous people 18 or older, and those with serious medical conditions.
