Most pandemic data metrics have been relatively flat in past month

While most data metrics to track the COVID-19 pandemic in B.C. have been relatively flat in the past month, there are more patients in hospital intensive care units today than at any time in the past two months.

The number of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the province then sunk to a low of 273 in the weekly updates on June 23 and June 30, before rising into mid-July. Provincial data has been criticized for being unreliable. The province added 32 additional people to its COVID-19 death toll of 3,940 people since the first death was recorded in March 2020. In every update for months, the province has added more COVID-19 deaths to its death toll than it records as being new deaths.

Data for new infections has also been widely dismissed and even Henry earlier this year called the information "not accurate." This is because in December she started telling people who were vaccinated and had mild symptoms to not get tested and to simply self-isolate. She said at the time that this was to increase testing capacity for those with more serious symptoms and those who are more vulnerable.
