“Currently, 23 individuals are hospitalized with COVID-19, seven of whom are in intensive care,” the pair said. “The remaining people with COVID-19 are recovering at home in self-isolation.”

Numbers of cases in each region since the pandemic began show:

• 1,791 cases of COVID-19 in the Vancouver Coastal Health region
• 2,878 in the Fraser Health region
• 174 in the Island Health region
• 433 in the Interior Health region
• 142 in the Northern Health region
• 78 cases of people who reside outside of Canada

No new COVID-19 deaths were reported and no new health-care facility outbreaks.

However, nine long-term care or assisted-living facilities and two acute-care facilities have active outbreaks.

As well, the community outbreak in Haida Gwaii has now been declared over, with no new cases identified for two incubation periods.

“Alerts are posted on the BC Centre for Disease Control’s (BCCDC) website, as well as on health authorities’ websites, providing details on where the potential exposure occurred and what actions to take – whether you need to self-isolate or monitor for symptoms,” the statement said.

“This weekend, let’s remember to use the layers of protection that keep ourselves and those around us safe. This is also a good time to think about the new routines that will be part of our activities into the fall.”
