There are now 27 Covid-19 cases connected to several private parties in Kelowna in late June and early July.

Dr. Bonnie Henry, provincial health officer, said that includes 18 residents in the Interior Health region and 9 in the Vancouver and Fraser health regions.

“If you have been at one of the locations within the community exposure events, you do need to monitor carefully for symptoms, limit your contact with others through the incubation period and contact 811 if you have any symptoms to arrange for testing,” Henry told a provincial news conference Thursday.

There has been 21 new Covid cases in B.C. since Wednesday, which includes 7 new cases in Interior Health.
