There have been an additional 16 cases of Covid-19 identified in the province since Saturday, bringing the provincial total to 2,444.

Two more people have succumbed to the virus, both residents of long term care homes in the lower mainland, and 142 people have now died province-wide.

Meanwhile, 80 percent of people (1,966) who have tested positive in B.C. have now recovered.

There have been no new outbreaks in the community or in healthcare facilities.
