Provincial health officer Doctor Bonnie Henry has announced a new limit on gatherings in private homes to immediate family members and no more than an additional safe six guests.
Dr. Henry made the announcement as she reported 817 new cases of COVID-19 since Friday.
This is the highest number recorded over a three-day period in B.C.
She also reported three more deaths, all residents of long-term care facilities in Vancouver Coastal health.
Dr. Henry says two schools have also closed due to COVID outbreaks, one in Fraser Health and one in Kelowna in a previously announced outbreak.
