It was another quiet numbers day for Interior Health when it comes to COVID-19.

The health authority reported just four new cases of the virus, bringing the total in the BC Interior to 515 since the start of the pandemic.

There are now 31 cases and all of them are isolating at home.

That’s because the one person who spent the last eight days or so in hospital with COVID-19 has now returned home.

It’s been the only hospitalization in the region over the past several weeks.

There’s still only one outbreak in BC Interior, but there are no IH residents associated with the Teck Coal Mines outbreak.

IH did reveal a potential COVID-19 exposure, however, which happened at the pub in the Coldwater Hotel in Merritt over the weekend.
