COVID-19 infections inched up on Monday as B-C announced 62 new cases reported since Friday. Two more people died, bringing the death toll in B-C to 189, while two-thousand-718 people have recovered from the disease. Premier John Horgan says the money that tourism would have brought to the province this year is not worth the risk to public health, given what’s happening with COVID-19 around the world. Horgan says he doesn’t want the border with the United States to reopen any time soon, as talks to extend the closure past July 21st are ongoing.
