Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says hospitals in hard-hit regions are feeling the strain from COVID-19 infections with a record number of people in intensive care.
There are 853 more cases of COVID-19 today and one new death, bringing the total in the province to 1,577.
Dr. Henry also announced that 508 people are in hospital, including 178 people in an ICU.
She says the province is expecting increased vaccine shipments in the coming weeks, but BC is in a tug-of-war with COVID-19, and people need to hold the line by following public health orders.
Fraser Health says it is no longer planning any pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinics in hot-spot neighbourhoods after chaos and disappointment this week.
Hundreds of people were turned away at two clinics in Surrey yesterday and Tuesday and people lining up today were told the clinics weren't running.
