VICTORIA — After three months of steady declines, British Columbia’s daily COVID-19 case counts are once again on the rise.

In its daily COVID-19 update, the province’s health ministry says there were 112 new cases of the virus found in B.C. Friday (July 23).

That’s the highest count — and the first time with more than 100 — since June 17, when B.C. had 114 new cases.

More than half of Friday’s new cases — 59 — were found in Interior Health.

Four people died of COVID-19 Friday, including two within IH.
