🔴 I am extremely sad to report that 2 more people have passed away due to COVID-19 in BC. My condolences go to their families and communities in this painful time.

🔬 As Dr. Henry noted, widespread and rigorous testing at the Mission Institution in the last few days has led to an increased in positive cases.

This weekend we must all stay committed to social distancing. We cannot undo all of the progress we have made for our healthcare system, our elders, and those most vulnerable to this virus. Let’s keep flattening the curve.

Be safe. Be well.
