KAMLOOPS — The number of new COVID-19 cases doubled in Kamloops last week.

According to the latest B.C. Centre for Disease Control update to the case count divided by Local Health Area (LHA), there were 96 new cases in the Kamloops area between April 4 and 10. That compares to 48 cases in the previous week.

The increase in the local region corresponds with elevated case counts in several areas of the province — especially the Lower Mainland.

The area of the Interior seeing the highest rate of spread last week was Revelstoke. The case count actually dropped to 21 in Revelstoke last week, but cases-per-capita remains at the highest tier in B.C.

Here are the totals for areas surrounding Kamloops between April 4 and 10, 2021:
