BC government provides update on respiratory illness season | LIVE

B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix and B.C.’s provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry will be holding a press conference Wednesday to provide an update on the province’s current state regarding respiratory illnesses amid extremely long wait times at numerous hospitals, including BC Children’s Hospital.

A B.C. family doctor said she has seen a rise in respiratory illnesses in her younger patients as well.

”The respiratory virus incidents are rising and we’re seeing that in the community,” said Dr. Anna Wolak, a B.C. family physician.

“I know I’m not the only physician who’s being slammed with all these same-day appointments for all these little ones who are coming in sick.”
