The City of Delta during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic had message boards placed throughout the community urging people to stay home. People are still advised to avoid non-essential travel and adhere to provincial safety restrictions.

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control has released community totals on the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases over the past year.

The BCCDC information includes the monthly data starting January 2020 and the latest numbers include overall totals as of January 2021.

According to the map, the City of Delta had 2,406 cases during that time period.

The data didn’t break down how many coronavirus infections occurred within the individual communities of Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta, something the City of Delta has requested from Fraser Health and the provincial health ministry on numerous occasions.

Last month’s BCCDC map, covering the period January to December 2020, indicated Delta had 1,960 cases.

The January 2020 to January 2021 map also shows Surrey had a total of 19,295 cases, while Vancouver had 10,305, Langley had 2,159, Abbotsford had 4,333, Richmond had 1,842, Burnaby had 5,004 and the Tri-Cities had 2,670.

According to the BCCDC’s latest community weekly case map released this week, which covered the week Jan. 24 to 30, Delta had 59 reported cases.

The city, the previous week, had 69 cases and it was 100 cases the week prior to that.

Meanwhile, as far as the latest COVID-19 exposures at Delta schools, Fraser Health’s website as of Friday listed six schools having had exposure events. 

Those schools include Delview, North Delta and Sands secondary schools as well as McCloskey, Hellings and Chalmers elementary schools. None were listed as having outbreaks or clusters.
