As of midnight February 16, the HPSC has been notified of 650 confirmed cases of Covid-19.

There have been three new COVID-19-related deaths, for a total of 1,317 deaths in British Columbia.

Monaghan has the highest incidence rate in the country at 420 cases per 100,000, followed by Offaly at 369 and Dublin at 352. It's the 15th straight day the county's new case count was in double digits. There is now a total of 211,751 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Ireland.

It brings the official death toll as recorded by the department to 2,015, although that figure is expected to increase significantly when deaths in all community settings have been accounted for.

The median age of those who died was 81 years, and the age range was between 51 to 99 years.

There is a data discrepancy between Island Health and the province, based on the timing of COVID-19 results.
