BC's COVID update for June 9 notes of Nine new cases and a call for caution as global case counts rise

Tuesday's COVID review provided word of nine new cases  in British Columbia, one new epi-linked case making for a total of 2,669 cases in the province.

For the Tuesday notes Dr. Henry and Minister Dix relayed the latest case count and other related notes on the pandemic in British Columbia.

“There are 183 active cases of COVID-19 in the province and 2,319 people who tested positive have recovered. 

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

908 of the provincial cases have been reported in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 1,370 in the Fraser Health region, 130 in the Island Health region, 195 in the Interior Health region and 66 in the Northern Health region, that is an increase of one from yesterday.

 “There have been no new COVID-19 related deaths, for a total of 167 deaths in British Columbia. We offer our condolences to everyone who has lost their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A call to remain vigilant made for the theme of today's presentation, as Dr. Henry noted that while British Columbia has had improving results in recent weeks, that is not the case in many parts of the world, with some countries still in the full grip of the pandemic.

“While in recent weeks the number of new cases in B.C. has been low, the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over – in British Columbia and around the world. 

The global case count continues to rise and many regions are facing a resurgence in cases. Just yesterday was the highest single day for new cases globally. This is concerning for all of us. 

COVID-19 has clearly shown us that we are all connected; the virus recognizes no borders. “We need to watch closely what is happening globally and in B.C., and we need to do all we can to protect our communities and our province."
