( The BC Gov't video feed was not available on Monday, the gov't has posted the CBC feed of the Monday update in its place)

With officials taking a break from public reporting over the weekend, Monday's COVID update from Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix delivered news of three dozen cases reported from Friday to Monday in British Columbia.

Though it should be noted that despite that increase, the positive trends towards those who have passed away from the pandemic continued with no new deaths recorded since the last report of Friday.

“Today, we are providing case updates for three 24-hour reporting periods. In the first reporting period from June 12 to June 13, we had 14 new cases. In the second reporting period from June 13 to June 14, we had 16 cases. In the last 24 hours, we have had a further six new cases. 

This represents 36 new cases since we reported on Friday, for a total of 2,745 cases in British Columbia. 

There are 182 active cases of COVID-19 in the province and 2,395 people who tested positive have recovered. "

Of the total COVID-19 cases, 13 individuals are hospitalized, four of whom are in intensive care. The remaining people with COVID-19 are recovering at home in self-isolation.

For the listing of the case counts, there was not much change in the breakdown province wide,  934 cases of COVID-19 in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 1,420 in the Fraser Health region, 130 in the Island Health region, 196 in the Interior Health region and 65 in the Northern Health region, the latter a consistent result for much of the last week. 

 “There have been no new COVID-19 related deaths, for a total of 168 deaths in British Columbia. We offer our condolences to everyone who has lost their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Towards working to continue the positive work of British Columbians the Health officials urged residents to stay with the measures as previously outlined and to follow the guidance coming forward as the province begins to extend its reopening plans.

“We ask British Columbians to not lose sight of the immense effort that we have all put into staying safe and remember that many people have experienced severe illness, and many families have lost loved ones. We must remember there is no treatment and no vaccine for COVID-19, which means the virus will be in our communities for a long time to come. 

Our objective is to keep COVID-19 low and slow. To do this, we are opening what is safe to open and keeping closed what is more harmful. We are slowly easing restrictions that are safe to lessen and are keeping measures in place to contain further spread."
