On Thursday, April 29, 43 new cases were reported in Interior Health. One new death due to the virus was also reported.
Earlier in April a letter was sent to parents from Interior Health about the increase in cases and the need to be vigilant.
In the letter, the health authority requested that parents and caregivers keep their children home if they are sick and to have them wear masks throughout the school day if they are in grades 4 to 12.
