While the health ministry didn't indicate what the pair will speak about, it's expected Dix and Henry will speak regularly on Tuesdays moving forward. It's unclear if daily case-count information will be released at that time, or if that will be distributed in a news release in the afternoon.
In their last briefing, Henry and Dix announced people who are "severely immunocompromised" will be offered a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. They also announced the province's vaccine mandate is being expanded to workers at all health-care facilities across the province.
Monday's COVID-19 update, which was released in a written statement, revealed hospitalizations are climbing again in B.C. In that update, 307 hospitalizations were recorded, which is the first time that number has exceeded 300 since May.
