Spring Break for schools has barely ended and already multiple COVID-19 exposures have been reported at Burnaby schools.
The list from Fraser Health includes three high schools, Burnaby Central and Mountain with March 29 exposure dates, and Moscrop with exposures on March 30, 31 and April 1.
Cameron is the lone elementary school on the list with a March 29 exposure dates.
The news comes as B.C.'s soaring number of new COVID-19 cases is continuing, with the province recording a record 1,018 on April 2, and then breaking that record by detecting 1,072 cases on April 3.
This brings the province's total number of cases 102,970 since health officials identified the first case in January, 2020.
Here is the breakdown of where the 2,090 infections detected in the past two days reside, by health region:
• 709 in Vancouver Coastal Health (33.9%);
• 1,052 in Fraser Health (50.3%);
• 147 in Island Health (7%);
• 149 in Interior Health (7.1%);
• 33 in Northern Health (1.6%); and
• no people who reside outside Canada.
Some good news is that the province has been vaccinating record numbers of new people. Health officials administered 69,152 doses of vaccine to 69,091 people, with 61 others getting needed second doses. That translates into an average of 34,545.5 people per day. The province's previous record high for the number of people vaccinated in a day was on March 31, when 31,855 people received their first dose of vaccine and 32 others received second doses.
