New case numbers continue to hover around similar levels as last week, which means case numbers still remain too high.
Meanwhile, B.C. has entered Phase 2 of the immunization program.
B.C. immunization executive lead Dr. Penny Ballem, along with provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, Health Minister Adrian Dix, and Premier John Horgan held a news conference today to announce further details about upcoming vaccinations.
Phase 2 will focus on providing vaccinations to those 80 years and above, Indigenous people 65 years and above, residents and staff in supportive and independent-living housing, and homecare staff.
