Provincial health officer Doctor Bonnie Henry is reporting five new cases of COVID-19 and no new deaths. That leaves the province with a total of 26 hundred and 32 cases but just 201 remain active, with 26 people in hospital.

There would be just a small number if that were increased to 60 per cent but a big surge would occur if people return to 80 per cent of normal contact with others.

Dr. Theresa Tam is warning that relaxing public health restrictions too quickly or too soon could lead to a rampant resurgence of COVID-19. The chief public health officer delivered a new report today that shows most of the country has seen the spread of the disease diminish substantially.
