The first incubation period since Canada Day is now complete, BC health authorities said today. This means it’s important to have heightened awareness to any symptoms and redouble efforts to stay safe.

As evidenced by the number of new cases of COVID-19 in recent days, the potential for new COVID-19 cases goes up with every increase in activity. Public health teams are actively working to manage cases and clusters as they emerge and keep new cases low and slow.

Take precautions to protect those around you by remembering that no matter where you may go, you bring your risk with you and share it with contacts.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix also announced 13 new cases today for a total of 3,128 cases in BC. There were no new deaths reported since yesterday.

There were no new health-care facility outbreaks. In total, two long-term care or assisted-living facilities and one acute-care facility have active outbreaks.

There were no new community outbreaks and there is one active community outbreak at Krazy Cherry Farm in the Interior Health region. Other community exposure events continue to occur, with public alerts issued as required.
