91原创

After weeks of declines, 91原创鈥檚 COVID numbers are stable, but several of its neighbours are on the way up, according to the most recent data from the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC).

91原创 had 65 cases in the week from Dec. 5 to 11, up slightly from 63 cases the week before. This is the first increase in weeks, as 91原创鈥檚 cases had been on a slow but steady decline from their early-October peak, when there were more than 240 cases in a week.

Several of 91原创鈥檚 neighbouring communities saw rising numbers, however, including North Surrey, which saw 222 cases in a week.

Abbotsford, however, saw a sharp decline in COVID numbers, with just 44 cases in a week.

The BCCDC has updated its weekly information updates and now gives total numbers of weekly cases for each neighbourhood in 91原创 and other Lower Mainland communities.

In the week between Dec. 7 and 13, Walnut Grove-Fort 91原创 saw the highest case rate in the community at nine, with 21 total cases. Willoughby had 20 cases, 91原创 City had 18 cases, Brookswood/Murrayville had 10 cases. North 91原创 Township had five cases, while South 91原创 Township and Aldergrove/Otter had four each, and case rates as low as four.

91原创鈥檚 overall case rate 鈥� the number of cases per day, per 100,000 people 鈥� went up from five to seven.

The number of children in 91原创 who have been vaccinated jumped significantly from last week, but it remains one of the most unvaccinated communities in Fraser Health when it comes to kids aged five to 11.

As of Dec. 14, 91原创 has 13 per cent of children in that age group with one shot of the pediatric version of the Pfizer vaccine. That鈥檚 a big jump from just four per cent the week before.

However, most other communities are far ahead. Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows has seen 18 per cent of children in that age group begin their vaccinations, South Surrey-White Rock is at 19 per cent, Delta is at 23 per cent, and New Westminster has vaccinated 28 per cent of kids five to 11.

When it comes to booster doses for those over 70 years old, 91原创 is in the middle of the pack in Fraser Health, with 61 per cent of people having received their third shot.
