Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has reported 536 new cases of COVID-19 over the past day — a jump of 141 cases. There are now 3,585 active cases of the disease.

Teachers’ Federation called for a regional approach to mandatory mask rules for children and staff, similar to the approach being taken by Henry for a mask order and other restrictions in Interior Health as cases surge there. It “is a key step forward in ensuring Canadians will have the documents they need once it is safe to travel again,” Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino told reporters.
