BC has logged another 96 cases of COVID-19 for a total of 8,304 cases.
A statement from provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says there are almost 1,500 active cases and another 3,300 people are under public health monitoring because they were exposed to the known cases.
It comes as Dr. Henry said earlier today that BC may be in a second wave, but health officials believe they can keep the virus contained through the fall.
The death toll remains at 227 people with no new deaths.
Almost 6,600 people who tested positive are considered recovered.
Dr. Henry says that as people move inside for the fall, they need to adjust to protect themselves and that means spending less time with others outside their household bubble.
