BC is reporting 485 new cases of COVID-19 and four more deaths.
That brings the death toll in the province to 1,172 and total cases to 65,719.
Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says BC's first case of COVID-19 was confirmed one year ago, and that year has shown one case can turn into thousands.
She says it has also shown that following public health restrictions can keep people safe and push the curve of the outbreak back down again.
To date, 124,365 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in B.C., 4,160 of which are second doses.
There is one new health-care facility outbreak at Glenwood Seniors Community, and the outbreak at Villa Cathay is now over.
There is also an outbreak at the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre.
