The B.C. Centre for Disease Control has released its latest municipal-level data on how many people had been diagnosed with COVID-19 in their local communities.
The numbers include the month August and shows 101 cases confirmed in Delta since the start of the pandemic, but the number isn’t broken down to the individual communities of Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta.
The BCCDC last month released its first set of local numbers, which covered a period from January to the end of July among communities in all the health authorities.
Those numbers indicated Delta had 62 cases over that period.
It means 39 new cases were confirmed in August, bringing Delta’s total to 101.
The latest numbers indicate a massive uptick in cases region-wide with Surrey leading the way with 1,005 confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic. That’s up from 521 total cases from the January until end of July period for the city.
Meanwhile, Abbotsford had 561 total cases from January through August, Langley had 219, Mission had 175, Vancouver had 400, Richmond had 153, Burnaby had 332, Tri-Cities had 305, Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows had 119 and South Surrey/White Rock had 92.
