Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - This is a COVID 19 update for Thursday April 29, 2021: The numbers of active cases in North Vancouver Island are continuing to fall.
>>> Travel Restrictions
It has been six days since the province issued restrictions on non-essential travel between Vancouver Island and the Mainland.
At that time, Dr Bonnie Henry said, “Community transmission and COVID-19 cases – including variants of concern – have increased in our health authorities, with many cases being linked to non-essential travel within BC.”
In their joint statement yesterday, Wednesday, April 28th, Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer, and Adrian Dix, Minister of Health said, “Each week, more and more vaccine is arriving in our province, and with each person who gets their vaccine, we are all a little safer.”
Yesterday, 5,645 doses of vaccine were administered on Vancouver Island. Six of these were AstraZeneca, 1,068 were Moderna and 4,571 were Pfizer.
More than 1.7 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines have now been administered across the province and close to 90,000 of these are second doses.
There were 18 active cases in North Vancouver Island yesterday, as compared to 35 the same day last week.
No North Vancouver Island schools are listed on the school exposure page.
While the data for the Greater Campbell River Health area is already five days old, it shows a similar decrease. There were 4 cases in the epi-week ending on Saturday, April 24th, and 11 the week before.
Similar drops have occurred throughout the rest of North Vancouver Island. There were no cases in Vancouver Island West and 2 in Vancouver Island North.
Higher numbers are only persisting in the Comox Valley Local Health Area, which borders on Central Vancouver Island. There were 16 cases during the epi-week ending April 24.
