BC is ending another week of double digit daily COVID-19 infections with 53 new cases including one in the Island Health Region. The good news is there has not been a death related to COVID-19 in BC for more than a week, but there have been 293 new cases confirmed since last Friday, including three in Island Health.
Tent Island, just south of Penelakut Island, has been closed to the public. The Penelakut Tribe says "visitors and campers have been ignoring provincial fire bans which threatens to destroy the island.”
