VANCOUVER -- Another 1,006 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in B.C, health officials announced Thursday.

"As always these are challenging times to have someone pass away from COVID-19 and our thoughts and condolences go to the families and communities and the care providers who looked after those who have passed away," Henry said. Details on recoveries and active cases weren't included in the early update, but are expected to be included in a written statement later in the afternoon.So far in B.C., 1,411,955 first doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been distributed in the province along with 88,475 second doses, which is enough for about 27 per cent of adults locally.

Henry took a moment to encourage British Columbians to register for the vaccine through the province's online system, saying it would help streamline distribution for both first and second doses.
