County Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has announced a new order limiting the number of people who can gather in private homes.

The 817 new cases announced on Monday broke records, with the most one-day and three-day total cases since the start of the pandemic. 28,125 tests completed over the weekend in British Columbia equating to a 2.9 percent positive rate.
