Hi!

This is an issue to track the problem discovered by jeanpaulrsoucy in https://github.com/ccodwg/CovidTimelineCanada/issues/23#issuecomment-1140359374

Per his note:

The health region IDs for BC used by covid19tracker.ca are wrong: https://api.covid19tracker.ca/province/BC/regions ...but this traces back to the health region IDs for BC used by us in Covid19Canada being wrong: https://github.com/ccodwg/Covid19Canada/blob/master/other/hr_map.csv ...but this traces back to the health region IDs for BC used by ESRI (for their map file) being wrong: https://resources-covid19canada.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/covid19canada::health-region-summaries

However, [CovidTimelineCanada's] current HRUIDs for BC are now correct, according to both StatCan and BC itself.

He notes that he has reached out to @noahlittle on this. This issue is currently blocking microCOVID.org from being able to report at the health-region level: https://github.com/microCOVID/microCOVID/pull/1452

This issue should be resolved now! We revised the incorrect HRUIDs over the weekend and they should be reflected in our API now.
