The following is attributable to Susan Brown, president and CEO, Interior Health:

“I’m sad to report two additional COVID-19 related deaths; bringing the total in Interior Health to six. Both people died in hospital over the weekend and I would like to extend our condolences to their families and caregivers. It’s never easy to lose a member of our community and our thoughts are with their loved ones. Limiting the spread of COVID-19 is our best way of protecting those who are vulnerable. Let’s all continue to do our part as we continue fighting this challenging pandemic together.”

The individuals who passed away were a man and a woman, both in their late 70s.
