Adrian Dix, Minister of Health, and Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.'s provincial health officer, issued a joint statement on COVID-19 in B.C. 

They announced 20 new cases for 175 active. There have been 2,667 recoveries. Seventeen people are in the hospital, with four in intensive care. No new cases have been identified in the Northern Health region. No new deaths have been reported and the total remains at 186. 

Cases in those whose primary residence is outside of Canada are being given separately. The total is 51. 

Two long-term care facilities and one acute care facility have active outbreaks still, with no community outbreaks. 

Dix and Henry remind British Columbians to take care of themselves and others.  

“The things we can do to help with contact tracing are to pause and complete our own personal risk assessment when planning activities, take note of where we go and who we see each day, and always follow our foundational rules for safe social interactions. 

“We all have a role to play in contact tracing to minimize and manage new cases in B.C. The efforts we make help our front-line public health teams and, in turn, help to protect all of us. Let’s continue to be united in our efforts while staying apart.”
