The situation in hospital intensive care units in B.C.’s Northern Health region is becoming so critical that patients are being moved to other parts of the province, health officials said Tuesday.

Health Minister Adrian Dix said so far, 12 patients from the Northern Health region, nine of whom have tested positive for COVID-19, have been transported to the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

Dix said he knows it is difficult for patients and their families and loved ones, “but it’s a necessary step to alleviate pressure on the northern region.”

He said 10 beds in the Lower Mainland and five beds on Vancouver Island, all in critical care, are being freed up for patients from Northern Health.

That will free up more beds for those in that health authority, Dix said.
