There are currently 364 people in hospital with COVID-19 in British Columbia, according to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control's weekly update on pandemic statistics.
The total, which includes both serious coronavirus cases requiring hospitalization and incidental cases among people who were hospitalized for other reasons, is up 40 from where it stood last Thursday.
The number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care units in the province has declined slightly, however, from 38 last week to 36 as of Thursday.
The latest data comes after the first full week without any daily updates on COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations or deaths from the provincial government, and as Canada's top doctor describes the country as experiencing a "sixth wave" of the pandemic.
