63 of those were in Interior Health and 16 were in Northern Health.

There are 1,537 active cases in BC.

Of those, 136 are in hospital, and 42 are in ICU.

There have been four new deaths, bringing the death toll to 1,734.

“Our progress is a shared effort, which means respecting that some of those around you may not be moving at the same pace as you. As a result, even though recreational travel within the province is now permitted, check before you go anywhere to ensure you will be welcome.” said Dr. Bonnie Henry.
