Does COVID-19 spread in a hospital mean there's an outbreak? Not anymore, says B.C. health ministry (www.cbc.ca)

Several B.C. hospitals and long term care facilities have seen a spike in COVID-19 cases recently according to the provincial health ministry, but these cases are not being named or reported publicly.

In a response to questions from CBC about COVID-19 outbreak declarations at acute care and long-term care facilities, the B.C. ministry of health confirmed that in some cases an outbreak is no longer reported even when there is a spike in cases due to spread at the hospital or care home.

Instead, "enhanced measures" are put in place without alerting the public.

Sounds like BC is adopting the alternative facts standard when reporting COVID.

Never thought I'd hear crap like that coming from an NDP gov't.

BC's NDP gov't is really their Liberal party, from what I understand.
