COVID-19 pandemic won’t be easing any time soon.Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Thursday that there are many challenges that need to be overcome before more visitors can be allowed in care homes.“We have to be so, so careful because outbreaks can spread so rapidly in care homes and it’s not just me and my loved one that I need to be concerned about, but it’s everybody in that setting,” she said.Henry said the rise in coronavirus transmission, particularly in the Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal Health regions, is having an impact on long-term care.
