No new deaths were reported Wednesday, leaving the provincial death toll at 189.

Of the total cases, 2,753 people are considered fully recovered, or 87 per cent.

Dr. Henry says provincial health officials are concerned about the increase in cases seen in recent days, and note many of them have been found in the wider community rather than in long-term care and assisted living facilities.
