That's a slight decline from the 50 recorded last week. Two weeks ago, New Westminster's weekly case count hit 66 – a high not seen since May.
Other COVID-19 markers are also showing signs of moving in a positive direction.
New West's daily case rate was at 8 cases per 100,000 (for the week of Sept. 13 to 19), down from 10 per 100,000 the previous week.
And test positivity also declined to 5% for all public tests – down from 8% in the previous reporting period.
New Westminster's proportion of COVID-19 cases in the province has also held steady; the city continues to have 1% of COVID-19 cases in B.C. compared to 2% of the population.
