As Canada continues to fight the new coronavirus pandemic, British Columbia and Alberta are starting to show signs of “flattening the curve” and reducing the spread of COVID-19.
And while the latest data shows Ontario and Quebec continuing to report increases, experts say there is hope for both provinces, which have enacted stricter lockdowns and expanded public health measures — efforts that could lead to a similar “bending” in new cases of the virus.
On Monday, B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced 63 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the provincial total to 1,266, a small increase from 970 one week ago.
