The Local Weekly The heart and soul of our communities with news and information about the Sunshine Coast
This map shows the latest data on COVID-19 cases by Local Health Area (LHA) released by the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC). The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases on the Sunshine Coast from Aug. 31 to Sept. 30 has nearly doubled from 14 to 26. The BCCDC first started posting LHA numbers in August for Jan. 1 to July 31, when the cumulative cases were seven. Powell River has seen an even sharper spike, going from one case in August to 39 in September. LHAs with higher rates are illustrated in darker colour shading, and cases are mapped by location of residence, not the place of exposure. Cases with unknown residence and from out of province are not mapped. BCCDC map
