One COVID-19 death, 694 new cases as BC hits 2 million vaccine doses administered

British Columbia reported one new COVID-19 death and 694 new cases of the virus, as active cases and hospitalizations trended downward again, Thursday.

It dropped the province’s seven-day average for new cases to 697, the lowest it has been since March 25.

At a live briefing, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said the number of active cases in B.C. had also fallen to 6,802, its lowest in nearly six weeks.

At some point Thursday, B.C. will also reach the milestone of two million COVID-19 vaccine doses administered, Henry said.

“This is very good news,” Henry said.

“Our immunizations are going up quickly, and the ages of those who are eligible for a vaccine is coming down.”
