26 new cases over three days make for Monday COVID report




The first COVID report for a new week outlined the results gathered since Friday, with 26 new cases recorded in British Columbia with Doctor Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix relaying the weekend's notes.

"Today, we are providing case updates for three 24-hour reporting periods. In the first reporting period from June 26 to June 27, we had 10 new cases. In the second reporting period from June 27 to June 28, we had 14 cases. In the last 24 hours, we have had a further two new cases. 

This represents 26 new cases since we reported on Friday, for a total of 2,904 cases in British Columbia. 

There are 153 active cases of COVID-19 in the province, and 2,577 people who tested positive have recovered. "Of the total COVID-19 cases, 18 individuals are hospitalized, five of whom are in intensive care. The remaining people with COVID-19 are recovering at home in self-isolation."

From the Cross-BC review, the totals of reported cases are as follows:

979 cases of COVID-19 in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 1,529 in the Fraser Health region, 131 in the Island Health region, 200 in the Interior Health region and 65 in the Northern Health region, the Northern Health totals have held at the 65 mark for much of June.

Dr. Henry and Minister Dix called attention to a high profile result over the last few days, noting of the need for anyone in attendance to be tested.

“There has been one new exposure event at Brandi’s Exotic Show Lounge in the Vancouver Coastal Health region. Public health teams are actively contact tracing and have issued an alert for anyone who may have been at the premises June 21, 22, 23 and 24 between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m."

As well, with a summer travel season set to begin, the two public health officials reminded British Columbians of the importance of following the ongoing measures towards safe social interactions.
