British Columbia reported 15 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the provincial total to 2,330 positive cases of the virus.
Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says two people have died, which brings the death toll to 129.

Henry says the number of people who have recovered from COVID-19 has increased to 1,659, which amounts to 71 per cent of those who tested positive for the virus.
Henry says on Mother's Day, she is asking families to honour their mothers by keeping them safe by avoiding close physical contact and staying away if sick.
