As on Wednesday, Interior Health today reported more cases of COVID-19.
This brings the total number of cases in the region to 450 since the start of the pandemic.
Currently, there are 21 active cases, however, there is no one left in the hospital because it is at home and in isolation.
There are now no active instances related to the outbreak at the Okanagan Correctional Center and no IH citizen is related to the outbreak in a structure near Elk Valley.
Today IH Medical Director of Health Dr. Albert de Villiers issued this on the comings and goings ahead in the fall:
After several months of restrictions, we all feel the desire to reconnect with the circle of family and friends this summer and many other IH people came here in combination in a safe and creative way: outside, physically remote and in small groups.
Of course, there are other events, adding up those that occur regularly in a year or in any year, that this year cannot take place due to COVID-19, we know that this is disappointing for both the organizers and the participants.Let us be transparent that at the heart of all decisions is the suitability and protection of our communities and others.We’ll have to paint together to lessen the spread of COVID-19 at the beginning of autumn.
A provincial ordinance on meetings and occasions sets the rules for occasions. Organizers who consider that their occasion is not a matter of order would possibly request an exemption. When an exemption application is not approved, it is the duty of internal environmental fitness.officials to enforce the needs of the order.
Our environmental fitness team works diligently on behalf of the citizens of Interior Health for the spread of coronavirus and protects the fitness of our population.
Through their efforts, as well as the paintings of public aptitude and our citizens committed to HI, we are keeping the disease curve flat in this fitness authority.I ask everyone to respect the paintings of our groups and to comply with that when an exemption for an occasion is not approved, it is in the most productive interest of all.As Dr. Bonnie Henry said, it’s not forever, it’s for now.
