Close to 2000 people have recovered from COVID-19 in British Columbia

The provincial update on COVID-19 is showing signs for the better.

Provincial Health Officer Dr.Bonnie Henry announced 16 new cases of the virus this afternoon, bringing the total in B.C to 2444.

Of those cases, Henry says 1966 people have now fully recovered.

Unfortunately, two more deaths were confirmed, bringing the total to 143 in the province.
