There have been 2,530 confirmed cases in B.C., while 2,102 of those have recovered. There are 37 patients in the hospital with COVID-19.

To compare numbers, Ontario announced 287 new COVID-19 cases over 24 hours, Monday. That’s the lowest number they’ve had since March.

B.C. began easing quarantine restrictions last week, which means many parks and businesses have reopened.

“We are monitoring the situation in B.C. and in other areas closely as we continue to chart our path forward. The key to our success in Phase 2 is all of us working together,” reads a statement.
