No new outbreaks in health care facilities were announced Saturday, while two more have been declared over, including one of B.C.'s "first and most difficult long-term care facility outbreaks," at Haro Park, said Henry. "This is very good news, and I'm relieved."

In total, 13 long-term care or assisted-living facilities and one acute-care unit continue to deal with active outbreaks. 

No new deaths have been reported which keeps the provincial total at 164. It has now been two straight days with no newly recorded deaths.

Henry announces an order that won't allow overnight camps for children and youth. She adds day camps are not applied to this order and are still OK for now #COVIDー19 #COVID19BC #drbonniehenry #BC #virus #update #coronavirus #northernbc #northernhealth #bcpoli@PGMatters
