Simple steps will keep COVID-19 low and slow this summer in BC, say health officials.

When spending more time with friends and family, whether that is close to home or on vacation elsewhere in the province, avoid closed spaces, crowds and close contact with others.

More layers of protection keep people safer. ‘Layer up’ by washing hands regularly, using barriers, staying a safe distance from others and using a mask when that is challenging.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix also announced 25 new cases today for a total of 3,053 in British Columbia.

There was one new COVID-19 related death in the Vancouver Coastal Health region for a total of 187 deaths in the province. 

There were no new health-care facility outbreaks or community outbreaks, although new cases and community exposure events continue to occur in the community.
