For the eighth consecutive day, B.C. has added more than 200 new cases of COVID-19 to its total.
In a written statement Wednesday, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and deputy health minister Stephen Brown announced 287 more cases of the coronavirus and two more deaths.
That leaves B.C. with 21 ongoing outbreaks in assisted-living or long-term care facilities and one in acute care. "The new order is about ensuring what happens in our homes is in step with what we are doing elsewhere," they said. "Just as we need to keep our groups to no more than six when we go to restaurants, we must also keep our groups small at home."
