On Friday #paramedics responded to 131 overdoses: the most recorded in a single day. This is double average daily overdoses. Overdoses were across BC from Chilliwack to Cowichan. When paramedics respond to an overdose a patient has a 99% chance of survival.#ODcrisis#LifeguardAPP

As warmer weather arrives, #paramedics are asking parents to secure #balconies & #windows to stop little ones from falling and sustaining serious injuries. Most #falls happen at home to #children 6 and under. For safety tips visit: https://t.co/Ot5calmmsa

During #ParamedicServicesWeek #ambulance #paramedics want to prepare you for their arrival. When called for help they will be wearing different types #PPE depending on the type of call. They make look different but they are still here to help you. #PSweek @ParamedicChiefs

[BC Emergency Health Services @BC_EHS]

BCEHS is a proud partner in the new #LifeGuardApp that alerts us if a person at risk of overdose becomes unconscious. #Paramedics and Fire Responders are often first on scene and see the devastating impact when people overdose alone. @lifeguarddh

BC’s restart will be a careful, step-by-step process to make sure our combined efforts and sacrifices are not squandered. Some things will become a little easier, starting mid-May -- with enhanced protocols.

The symptoms of #COVID19 are similar to those for the flu & common cold. They’re also similar to seasonal allergy symptoms. Check the full list here: https://t.co/uDpdFklP27.

If you have any of these symptoms, stay home. For #COVIDBC health info follow @CDCofBC & @PHSAofBC.

At BCEHS, #NationalDayOfMourning is particularly poignant as 10 paramedics have lost their lives in the line of duty since 1988. We honour their memory & the sacrifices of #frontline workers across Canada. We must commit to employee health, safety & wellness, now more than ever.

Don’t be alarmed if you see our #paramedics suited up in #PPE responding to an emergency medical call. Our front-line staff are taking necessary precautions in the face of the evolving #COVID19. They're protecting patients, themselves and their loved ones. https://t.co/VHvHtFh1nv

The rate of new COVID-19 cases is slowing down in BC thanks to individual and collective action. We are on the right track, but what happens next is up to you. Keep physically distancing and we will get through this together. #COVIDBC #DoYourPartBC
