B.C. is down to having six active COVID-19 outbreaks at seniors' long-term care facilities thanks to the provincial government on June 3 declaring that two outbreaks at those homes are over.
Abbotsford's Cottage-Worthington Pavilion and Mission's The Cedars no longer have outbreaks because they have not had new cases in 28 days, or two incubation periods, said B.C. provincial health officer Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix in a joint statement.
Seniors' living facilities that still have outbreaks include:
•North Vancouver's Berkley Care Centre;
•Vancouver's South Granville Park Lodge;
•Burnaby's New Vista Care Home;
•Port Coquitlam's Nicola Lodge;
•Langley's Langley Lodge; and
•Abbotsford's Valhaven Home.

One new death has been recorded since yesterday's update.
Of all of those who have been infected, 166 have died, 214 are battling illness and 2,243 have recovered.
