There have been three new deaths bringing the provincial death toll to 272.

“Today, much of the recent transmission is connected to social gatherings,” says Gustafson and Health Minister Adrian Dix. “That is why it is so important to keep our groups small.

“This is particularly important in the Fraser Health region where public health teams are asking everyone to avoid all social gatherings in your home right now – even those that are within the restrictions of the provincial health officer order.”
