Interior Health doctors are finalizing their pandemic plan as they brace for a possible onslaught of coronavirus cases in the region.
Three more COVID-19 cases in the Interior Health region were confirmed on Thursday afternoon, bringing the total to a dozen.
The health authority won’t say where these patients are, citing privacy concerns and arguing that every person in every community needs to be prepared. “We don’t want to create a false sense of security by announcing cases in one community and not in another,” Interior Health Medical Health Officer Dr.
Silvina Mema said. Although hundreds of COVID-19 tests have been done in the Interior, many people with symptoms won’t actually be tested, Mema said.
