13 new cases of COVID-19, for a total of 2,835 cases in British Columbia and another passing to report made for some of the narrative for the Tuesday COVID-19 report from Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix.

From their review of the latest notes, they observed that there are 174 active cases of COVID-19 in the province and 2,491 people who tested positive have recovered.

 Of the total COVID-19 cases, 16 individuals are hospitalized, seven of whom are in intensive care. The remaining people with COVID-19 are recovering at home in self-isolation.

960 cases of COVID-19 in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 1,480 in the Fraser Health region, 131 in the Island Health region, 199 in the Interior Health region and 65 in the Northern Health region, that number a consistent one for much of the month of June for the northern region. 

 “There has been one new COVID-19 related death in the Fraser Health region, for a total of 170 deaths in British Columbia. We offer our condolences to everyone who has lost their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Both Dr. Henry and Minister Dix made note of the modelling released today to highlight the success that the province has had and to caution about reducing our attention to the measures in place.

“Today’s modelling shows us that in British Columbia the measures we have in place to protect ourselves and each other from COVID-19, combined with the slow, gradual transition in Phase 2, is working. 

We have eased our restrictions in a way that has allowed us to increase our social interactions to around 65%, while keeping our new cases of COVID-19 low. 

Looking ahead, until we have an effective treatment or vaccine, the rules for safe social interactions must continue to be maintained as part of our everyday activities to stay at this manageable level. 

The modelling tells us that if we go too far, we risk a rapid rebound in B.C., something many others are now experiencing. 

To continue to maintain this careful balance, we have to keep doing what we’re doing as individuals and we all know what we need to do."
