Another 46 cases of COVID-19 in B.C. according to health officials, two of which were in the Interior Health Authority.

The provincial total for cases is now up to 4,111 while the number of cases in the Interior is up to 393, with 14 active cases right now.

Active cases across B.C. were up yet again to 472 from 445 yesterday, with eight people in hospital, five of whom are in intensive care.

For the eleventh day, the province has not reported a COVID-19 related death, the death toll in B.C. remains at 195 people.

“As we look to fall, what we’ve learned from other jurisdictions is that transmission in a school setting is a reflection of what’s happening in our communities; keeping our community transmission low and slow keeps us all safe,” said a statement from the Ministry of Health.

“Behind the scenes, public health is using contact tracing to mitigate the new growth in cases. Every case is followed up and linked. People who are at risk from exposure to known cases are supported to self-isolate, reducing further community exposure.”

There were no new healthcare or community outbreaks reported on Tuesday, and an outbreak at the Krazy Cherry Fruit Company in Oliver has been declared over with a total of four confirmed cases linked to this outbreak.

However, Interior Health says the Cactus Club in downtown Kelowna has again seen an exposure of the virus. Anyone who was there this past Saturday night is being asked to monitor for symptoms of the virus.

There have been 161 cases now linked to Kelowna parties around Canada Day.

“We can all help public health teams in contact tracing by using the skills we have learned: Keep gatherings small, have a designated ‘contact keeper,’ limit time with others, maintain physical distance, and always stay home if you’re feeling unwell,” added the statement.

“What we do each day protects us, our families and friends and our communities. Let’s continue to work together to bend the curve not the rules.”
