Health officials in British Columbia say the number of new daily cases of COVID-19 is too high and they are repeating calls for everyone's help to bend the curve.
The province recorded 407 new COVID-19 cases Tuesday, bringing the total number of confirmed active infections to 4,260.
Among those, 313 people are hospitalized, including 71 in intensive care.
An additional 14 people died in the past day and the death toll in B.C. from COVID-19 rose to 1,168.
Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry say in a joint statement that now is the time for anyone who has put aside public health precautions to join or rejoin efforts to stop the spread.
They say it is especially critical with the presence of variant strains of COVID-19 in B.C.
