Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry reported 22 active outbreaks in longterm or acute care facilities in the province. She mentioned the the Lynn Valley Care Centre is one of the 17 longterm care facilities which has declared their outbreak to be over since the beginning of the pandemic.

Cases in the poultry processing plant outbreaks remain, with seven cases at the Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry operation—operations have restarted at this plant, after implementing safety measures—Superior Poultry has 55 confirmed cases, and 35 at United Poultry.

At the Mission Correctional Facility there are 134 cases.

“Few faces in big spaces.”—Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer

Henry asked the public to not open up their social circles just yet, as doing so could have a negative impact on the work British Columbians have done this far.

But as we prepare to go forward with our new normal Henry mentions that we must continue to wash our hands, cover our coughs, social distance and stay home when we are feeling sick.

This will continue throughout the summer and into the fall, as respiratory illnesses resurface during the cooler months.
