“There have been no new health-care facility outbreaks, and the outbreak at Valhaven Home in the Fraser Health region has been declared over. In total, four long-term care or assisted-living facilities and one acute care facility have active outbreaks,” said Provincial Health Officer Doctor Bonnie Henry in today’s press briefing.

“There have been no new community outbreaks, and the public health teams continue to provide support for the one remaining community location.”

BC residents are reminded to maintain physical distancing during Canada Day celebrations, Dr. Henry added.
