B.C. may now be home to three possible vaping-related illnesses, Health Canada has confirmed.

Two new probable cases have been confirmed as of Wednesday, adding to the first probable case confirmed in October by B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.

At that time, Henry said six other cases were being looked at as being related to vaping, but two of them had been ruled out. It’s not yet known whether the final two cases are still being investigated.

Henry said as more vaping-related illnesses are reported and investigated, the number of probable or confirmed cases was likely to rise.

Health Canada and the province are witholding information regarding where in B.C. the cases were reported, as well as the patients’ ages and genders.

Elsewhere in the country there are five more probable cases in New Brunswick, and two confirmed cases in Quebec, according to Health Canada’s website.
