VANCOUVER -- Eleven more people have died from COVID-19 in B.C. and there are 45 new positive cases, health officials announced Monday.
Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry's afternoon update covered two days' worth of COVID-19 case numbers as there was no update given Sunday. From Saturday to Sunday, 25 people tested positive, while over the past 24 hours, 20 people tested positive.
That brings the province's total number of cases up to 1,490.
Henry announced 11 additional deaths, which means 69 have died from the novel coronavirus in the province. Monday's update marked the most deaths Henry has reported in a single briefing, but that number covered a two-day span.
Henry also said 254 people associated with long-term care homes have tested positive for the virus.
There are 137 people who have been hospitalized, Henry said, with 75 in the Fraser Health region. ..
