Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced surprise discrepancies in the province’s reporting of COVID-19 case counts for the past eight days.
The number of new cases reported each day between November 17 and 24 were found to be incorrect, due to technical errors in the Fraser Health Authority’s data reporting.
In some cases, daily cases in the Fraser Health region are lower than what was originally reported, but in other cases they are higher.
Fraser Health has had the highest number of COVID-19 cases each day for the past few months.
