Description: BC Centre for Disease Control on Twitter: "Two years ago the first case of #COVID19 was detected in BC. @VCHhealthcare @Fraserhealth @VanIslandHealth @Interior_Health @Northern_Health @fnha @phsaofbc have worked tirelessly to prevent infections, vaccinate, and care for those who become ill. Here’s a look back: 1/12 / Our provincial labs have played a critical role in the pandemic. Becky Hickman and Tracy Lee from the BCCDC Public Health Lab developed the first test to detect COVID-19. 2/12 / Lab staff worked around the clock to do testing and sequence positive samples to identify variants. 3/12 / Resource after resource was developed to help make sense of COVID-19 and public health information on testing, self-isolation, vaccination, and more. Some even got turned into billboards. 4/12 / A saline gargle test was developed to make testing easier for everyone but especially kids and parents. 5/12 / What started as a research project to use wastewater to monitor infection levels in the community has grown into an established program. 6/12 / The BCCDC’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Team was set up to provide test results and support health authorities with contact tracing and vaccine clinics across the province. 7/12 / Epidemiologists and data scientists spend hours every day behind-the-scenes to monitor, track and analyze the billions of pieces of data from testing, cases, vaccinations, and more. 8/12 / Guidelines have been written and training and education has been developed to support health care professionals in managing COVID-19 cases and providing immunizations. 9/12 / Meanwhile naloxone kits and harm reduction supplies continued to be delivered across the province at record-breaking numbers to help prevent deaths from drug toxicity. More people are dying from toxic unregulated drugs than ever before. 10/12 / We are so grateful for the dedication of health-care workers around the province who have stepped up in helping us to navigate these public health emergencies. 11/12 / And a big thank you to every British Columbian from us @cdcofbc Blue heart 12/12"
