One new case of COVID-19 confirmed for Vancouver Island
NANAIMO — The number of COVID-19 cases on Vancouver Island has crept upwards.
A joint statement from provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and health minister Adrian Dix announced the total number of COVID-19 cases within the Island Health region increased by one to 133.
The new case is epidemiologically linked, which means the case is confirmed as COVID-19 but the person wasn’t tested at the time they were ill.
Data from the BC CDC shows the epidemiologically linked case has already recovered from the respiratory virus.
