Of the total cases, 1,357 people are now considered fully recovered, or 63 per cent of the total.

There has been one additional death due to COVID-19, raising the provincial death toll to 112.

Eighty-seven employees of two poultry plants in the Lower Mainland remain infected. That number has decreased due to the correction of a previous reporting error.

In addition, 133 at the Mission Institution in Abbotsford are positive for COVID-19, and 15 British Columbians connected with the Kearl Lake oilsands project in northern Alberta.

Only 79 people are hospitalized, the continuation of a downward trend. Twenty-four of those are in intensive or critical care.
