Following confirmation of a second COVID-19 case, Vancouver Coastal public health teams have expanded their alert for anyone who may have been at the No. 5 Orange nightclub on July 1, to include July 3, 4 and 7.

Anyone who has been at a location with a community exposure event should monitor themselves for symptoms, limit contact with others and contact 811 to arrange for testing if any symptoms develop.

Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry also announced 20 new cases today for a total of 3,028 cases in British Columbia.

Starting today, individuals whose primary residence is outside of Canada will be reported separately. As of today, that total is 51 cases.

There were no new COVID-19 related deaths today, and no new healthcare facility outbreaks. In total, two long-term care or assisted-living facilities and one acute care facility have active outbreaks.

While there are no active community outbreaks in BC, new cases and community exposure events continue to occur in the community. Guidelines will continue to be adjusted to address vulnerabilities and adopt new tools and technologies as they become available.

To help contact tracing, complete a personal risk assessment when planning activities, take note of where you go and who you see each day, and always follow rules for safe social interactions.
