Modelling information shows new confirmed cases could be eliminated next month, no new COVID-19 deaths reported

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. Modelling information released today shows new confirmed cases could be eliminated next month if social interactions are kept at the current level of 50 per cent of normal. 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.

Mounties in Langley are looking for two people who burst into a home in the community, demanded money from a man and then stabbed him several times before fleeing. Investigators describe the June 2nd attack as a targeted home invasion. They say two other people were home but were not hurt when the masked intruders broke into the house. Police were only notified when the victim, who remains in stable condition, arrived at Langley Memorial for treatment and officers then searched the house for evidence they hope will lead them to the suspects.
