B.C.’s total number of test positive cases is now at 2,360. 63 people are in hospital and 16 are in ICU.

Henry announced that B.C. has launched a province-wide survey to get British Columbians to express their experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who participate will be asked at the end if they’d like to participate in upcoming studies related to COVID-19.

“Thank you to all of the nurses in B.C.”–Dr. Bonnie Henry

Dr. Bonnie Henry also took a moment to thank nurses across the province for their work, as May 12th is International Nurses Day, and reminded British Columbians that the best way to show their gratitude to frontline health care workers is to stay healthy.

For those worried about moving into phase two of the ‘Go Forward’ plan, Dr. Henry said that we are taking the next steps slowly and carefully and asks that British Columbians do so aswell.

“We can safely restart our province.”–Dr. Bonnie Henry

Once again she reminds the province that as we move forward we must continue to wash our hands, wear a mask (if you can) and practice social distancing.

A total of 1,832 people have recovered from COVID-19 in the province.
