COVID-19: BC reports 29 new cases, taking the total to 1,203, 3 new deaths reported

British Columbia medical health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says she's heartened by a decrease in the number of people being diagnosed with COVID-19.

There have been 29 new cases since Friday, and Henry says if the province had continued to see the previous acceleration of about 25 per cent she would have been very concerned.

She says the curve in the number of cases in B.C. appears to be flattening, which could allow for health care for those who need help both for COVID-19 and other illnesses.

The province has recorded three more deaths for a total of 38 deaths among the 1,203 people diagnosed.
