B.C. health officials reported 2,701 new cases of COVID-19 since Friday. Since the pandemic began, B.C. has recorded 341,286 cases.

The numbers of new and total cases are provisional due to a system-wide downtime, according to a B.C. government news release.

Of the new cases, 495 are in the Vancouver Coastal Health region (including Richmond), 783 in the Fraser Health region, 423 in the Island Health region, 676 in the Interior Health region, 324 in the Northern Health region, and no new cases of people who reside outside of Canada.

There are 803 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 and 119 are in intensive care.

Due to the system-wide downtime, the total number of doses administered in B.C. is not available today.
