There are four new health care outbreaks and one new community outbreak at J and L Beef Ltd. in the Fraser Region.

“One can say we are in our second wave, but we have control over what that wave looks like and we have shown we can do that,” said Henry. “We are not seeing exponential growth. We have more people in hospital than a few weeks ago, but that has stabilized. What we are seeing is continued, ongoing growth, particularly in hot spots like the Lower Mainland.”

Henry said the vast majority of B.C. residents are taking it seriously and following the health guidelines.
