The average case rate in 91原创 declined slightly week-over-week. The BCCDC鈥檚 numbers show that from Nov. 2 to Nov. 8, the case rate 鈥� the number of cases per 100,000 people, per day 鈥� was 13 in 91原创, down from 14 the week before.

Most of 91原创鈥檚 neighbouring communities also saw rates creeping downwards, including Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows. North Surrey was down but South Surrey

Broken down by neighbourhoods, North 91原创 Township鈥檚 case rate was 23, the highest in the community by far, and not far off the 24 seen in rural Abbotsford immediately to the east.

Brookswood/Murrayville鈥檚 case rate was 13, Willoughby and 91原创 City had a case rate of 12, and Walnut Grove/Fort 91原创 and Aldergrove/Otter both had case rates of 11.

The divide between the Fraser Valley, where case rates remained at 20 or higher, and most of Metro Vancouver, where rates were considerably lower, remained in place. Case rates from the North Shore and Tri Cities down to Delta ranged from nine to as low as one.

Another one per cent of 91原创 residents got their first vaccine shots as of this week, as the local rate hit 89 per cent for those aged 12 and older. That remains slightly below the provincial average, which as of Nov. 10 was 90.5 per cent.

Hope still has the lowest rate of vaccinations in the Fraser Health region, with just 78 per cent of those eligible having received a shot. Delta has the highest rate, with 95 per cent.
