146 people have been infected with COVID-19 in BC since Friday, including two in the Island Health Region. There have been no deaths. Dr. Bonnie Henry says she is not overly worried by the numbers. Henry says health authorities have been able to contact most people who have been exposed to the virus.
Island Health has handed back the reigns at two private care homes, ten months after appointing an administrator to oversee them.
Three forest fires continue to keep crews busy in the Coastal Fire District. They include the 16-hectare fire at Green Mountain, southwest of Nanaimo, which is 40 per cent contained.
