Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - While the number of confirmed COVID cases in Vancouver Island and the rest of the province continues to rise, data from the BC Centre for Disease Control shows there have been no new cases in North Island - which includes Courtenay, Campbell River, and the Discovery Islands, as well as communities further north - for at least a week. There has been only one new case throughout this entire region since September 10th and this would appear to be the only case still classified as "active."
