Several B.C. hospitals and long term care facilities have seen a spike in COVID-19 cases recently according to the provincial health ministry, but these cases are not being named or reported publicly.

In a response to questions from CBC about COVID-19 outbreak declarations at acute care and long-term care facilities, the B.C. ministry of health confirmed that in some cases an outbreak is no longer reported even when there is a spike in cases due to spread at the hospital or care home.

Instead, "enhanced measures" are put in place without alerting the public.

You clearly do, seeing as you're commenting on this article. Nobody forced you to do that, you chose to read it, engage with it, and then argue with other people about it online. So which is it? Do you care about this or don't you? Because it sure sounds like you do to me.
