BC health officials to provide a COVID-19 update on Friday
BC health officials will be holding a COVID-19 briefing on Friday, January 28, at noon.
Health Minister Adrian Dix will be joined by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, but the BC Ministry of Health has not divulged any specific details on what to expect.
One thing that is notable about Friday is that it’s the two-year anniversary of BC’s first case of COVID-19.
