Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says chances are that a second wave of COVID-19 could sweep back into BC along with other colds and flu in the fall.
Dr. Henry says they've been watching a similar pattern elsewhere and because the virus hasn't been wiped out in the province, there is potential for it to rapidly take off.
She says in South Korea the virus spread to hundreds of people through nightclubs.
12 new COVID-19 cases reported
Twelve more people have tested positive for the virus in BC for a total of 2,479, while2,020 have fully recovered.
Three more people have died, bringing the death toll to 152.
Henry says wearing a non-medical mask could be an additional layer of protection for those around you if using public transit or you are getting services like a hair cut.
