Releasing the number of people in Richmond who have tested positive for COVID-19 would give people “false assurance” about the current pandemic, according to Richmond’s medical health officer Meena Dawar
The number of cases that have tested positive is lower than the actual number of people who have coronavirus in Richmond, she explained, and reporting the test-positive numbers would be “meaningless.”
Meena Dawar said they're no longer reporting local numbers, because testing has changed “dramatically.” 列治文卫生官米娜·大娃儿表示，他们（卑诗丧门星卫生官笨妮和温哥华沿岸卫生局）不再向列治文通报列治文本地的感染人数，因为测试方式已经变成了儿戏！
However, the provincial health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, told the Richmond News in a statement that respecting patent privacy will better enable public health providers to do the work they need to do to keep everybody safe, adding that if privacy can’t be guaranteed, some people may not come forward for testing.
However, some Richmond residents believe that the benefits of providing the general public with more information regarding cases in their area outweigh privacy concerns.
A Richmond resident, who only gave his last name as Wang, told the News that transparency is more important than patients' privacy at this stage.
