British Columbia reported one new death from COVID-19 over the weekend and 23 additional cases, bringing the total to 2,353.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix confirmed the latest numbers on Monday and spoke about efforts to slowly start reopening the economy.

Dr. Henry asked for patience as the province moves toward easing physical distancing requirements after the May long weekend, comparing B.C.’s reopening plan to a “steady stream” that is “far more successful than a rushing river that can damage things in its place.”

Of the 2,353 cases of COVID-19 in the province, 66 people are in hospital and 18 remain in intensive care, officials said. There have been 1,719 recoveries.
