The Interior Health region has added one more case to its total over the weekend, totalling 200 infections to date.

“We must remember that COVID-19 remains a risk for everyone. Even though our new cases are low, we need to keep it there. As we gradually transition, we need to remain vigilant,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer. “One slip is all we need to cause a significant rebound, and we have seen that happen in jurisdictions around us.”

Henry asks all B.C. residents to continue their efforts in adhering to public health advice, at home and while travelling.

“As Phase 3 allows for more types of activities, how we interact with each other, does not change. No matter what your summer plans may entail, or where you may go or where you’re from, be respectful and do your part,” said Henry.
