COVID-19 exposures in schools take a dip across the Okanagan “The frustrating thing for me is that we were going beyond the government’s recommendation with rules for capacity and everybody having to show their vaccination cards a month before the province was,” Bruce Hamilton, Kelowna Rockets president and general manager, said.“We have had no problems… I don’t understand why we can’t be the same as Vancouver or Victoria.”Also, Hamilton pointed out that COVID-19 case numbers have continued to fall for weeks in the Central Okanagan.Data from the BC CDC indicates that in the week spanning Oct.
3 to Oct. 9, there were 186 COVID-19 cases reported in the Central Okanagan. That’s a reduction of 16 per cent from the week earlier when there were.
