B.C. government to release its estimates on the spread of COVID-19

VICTORIA – We should soon have a better idea of how many people may end up with COVID-19 in B.C.

The B.C. government is expected to release its modelling information on COVID-19 Friday.

Health Minister Adrian Dix says the province will also reveal how it has been preparing for what could be the worst-case scenario in comparison to outbreaks in China and Italy.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says the next few days will tell if the rules around social distancing have helped to slow the spread of the virus.

She says self-isolation and social distancing are the best buffers and act like a firebreak or firewall.

There have been 14 deaths and 725 people have tested positive for the virus in B.C.
