About 61 per cent of B.C.’s 1,561 confirmed COVID-19 patients have fully recovered. Of the remaining cases, 131 patients are in hospital, with 59 of them in intensive care.
British Columbia’s provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix provided an update on the province’s COVID-19 response on Tuesday.

She also announced 27 new confirmed cases of the virus, bringing the province’s total to 1,517.
Henry reported one additional long-term care facility outbreak, which brought the number of care homes or assisted living facilities with ongoing active COVID-19 outbreaks to 21.
B.C. has recorded 11 COVID-19 deaths since Saturday, says B.C.’s provincial health officer.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo provided an update Monday regarding the continued efforts his state is making to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Cuomo said that although the number of daily deaths caused by the virus in the state is decreasing, it is flattening at a “horrific level.” He added that having over 650 deaths occur during the Easter holiday was “especially tragic,” as the death toll surpassed 10,000 in New York State on Monday.
Cuomo also stated that they will “listen to the experts and follow the data” before choosing to reopen the state amid the pandemic, and outlined a potential objective for reopening, which included re-calibrating essential workers and applying more testing.
Early data on COVID-19 racial disparities are revealing that Black communities are being hit hardest with fatalities associated with the coronavirus.

The novel coronavirus could cost 11,000 to 22,000 Canadian lives over the course of the pandemic — and that’s the best-case scenario with the strongest control measures in place to contain the spread of the virus.
That’s according to modelling released by Canadian public health officials for the first time on Thursday, which lays out three different potential scenarios based on strong, medium and weak responses to containing the virus.
It’s important to note projections are estimates based on the best available data so far, and that data can and does change regularly.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo delivered some good news Thursday from Albany as recent data suggests the COVID-19 curve is beginning to flatten in New York State.
He said the state had its lowest net hospitalization increase of 200 on Wednesday, and the lowest change in ICU admissions.
Cuomo said the reason behind that is that New Yorkers are complying with the social distancing measures.
However, Cuomo also discussed different COVID-19 modeling projections which show a range between 55,000 up to 110,000 individuals needing hospitalization.
Alberta’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw provided a provincial update on the COVID-19 situation in the province on Thursday.
Alberta’s COVID-19 death toll rose by three on Thursday, reaching 32 total fatalities from the disease. Twenty-two of those were in the Calgary zone.
The three latest deaths were a woman in her 80s in the Calgary zone, a man in his 70s in the Edmonton zone, and a woman in her 60s in the Calgary zone, the doctor said.
One death was linked to a continuing care centre in Calgary, but Alberta’s top doctor said the individual was not a resident of McKenzie Towne Continuing Care Centre in Calgary, where over a dozen deaths had previously been recorded. So far, 151 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in staff and residents in continuing care facilities.
The UK has recorded its highest daily number of deaths from coronavirus. 938 more people died in hospital with the virus in the last 24 hours, close to the worst levels seen in Italy and Spain. The Prime Minister Boris Johnson was said to be “improving” as he prepared to spend a third night in intensive care. Downing Street said he was “sitting up in bed and engaging positively” with staff at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. Meanwhile scientists have questioned whether the government can meet its target of 100,000 coronavirus tests a day by the end of April.
