Of BC's new cases, 125 cases were in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 216 in Fraser Health, 32 in Island Health, 91 in Interior Health, 35 in the Northern Health region.

“Our COVID-19 curve is trending in the right direction, and we want to keep that going – to push our curve down, which in turn, will allow us to safely ease restrictions," said Henry.

“We thank everyone for continuing to do their part to stop the spread in our communities and helping all of us to get to the finish line faster. With each day that we follow the public health measures, our communities and our loved ones are safer. Let’s keep going.”

Earlier on Wednesday, officials reported that a total of $553,006 in COVID-related fines have been handed out in BC.
