Health officials in B.C. are providing the next update on COVID-19 in the province early Tuesday afternoon.
Health Minister Adrian Dix and Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry are scheduled to speak at 12:30 p.m. PT.
CBC News will livestream the news conference.
On Monday, the province confirmed 2,239 new cases of COVID-19 had been diagnosed over the weekend. A statement said 18 more people had died.
A total of 303 people were in hospital as of Monday, with 141 in intensive care.
The province is expected to provide more details this week about a system to notify parents about cases of COVID-19 in schools.
Last week, Henry said feedback from parents and teachers across the province made it clear they want more information about how the virus is spreading in schools.
Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn't make it to the prime minister's desk in 2021 because Canada's spy agency and the prime minister's national security adviser didn't always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada's intelligence watchdogs.
