Experts warned today that British Columbia is putting people at risk by lifting protective measures as the BA2 subvariant brings a second,  unpredictable Omicron wave in the province.

The Omicron subvariant is  20 to 30 per cent more transmissible than the original Omicron, and now  comprises at least 75 per cent of cases in B.C.

“We’ve got an Omicron rerun, minus protections,” said Dr. Brenda Hardie, a physician with public health advocacy group Protect Our Province BC.

“And we saw the highest number of deaths and hospitalizations we’ve ever seen in Omicron one,” she said.
