British Columbia’s provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry reported 19 test-positive cases of COVID-19 and one epi-linked case on Thursday, as well as two new deaths in long-term care.

She said one of the new cases was a public school teacher in the Fraser Health region, adding that “none of the students are exposed from that case.”

There are 2,869 confirmed cases of the disease in the province. Of those, 2,517 patients have fully recovered, or just under 88 per cent.

The two deaths bring the province’s COVID-19 death toll to 173.

The provincial update came a day after B.C. announced it will move to Phase 3 of its plan to restart the economy.

B.C. Premier John Horgan said Wednesday that the gradual transition into the third phase allows hotels, motels, spas, resorts, hostels, RV parks, provincial campgrounds and the film industry to resume operations after being shut down or restricted since March.
