British Columbia is marking the sixth day in a row with no additional deaths due to COVID-19.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says the death toll is still 167 and there have been no new community or health-care outbreaks identified since Wednesday.

She says 14 more people have tested positive for the disease, bringing the total to 2,694.

There are 183 active cases, including 13 people in hospital with five in intensive care.

Henry says 2,344 people have recovered so far.

Health Minister Adrian Dix says the situation in B.C. is not necessarily typical, since cases of COVID-19 are rising around the world, so the province must remain vigilant.
