Health officials are reporting just one new case of COVID-19 in British Columbia, the lowest figure since early March.
Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry say in a joint statement that there are 193 active cases of the disease and 2,272 people who tested positive have recovered.
One more person has died, bringing the province's death toll to 167.
There are 21 people in hospital, five of whom are in intensive care.
Dix and Henry say the outbreak at the Berkley Care Centre has been declared over, meaning there are now five long-term care or assisted-living facilities with active COVID-19 outbreaks.
B.C. reported nine new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, but Dix and Henry say one case has been removed from that total due to a ``data correction.''
