Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says a rise in cases was anticipated as people moved indoors during colder months.
British Columbia reported a record of 425 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, bringing the total number of cases to 16,560 across the province.
Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says a rise in cases was anticipated as people moved indoors during colder months.
The request to temporarily end open houses follows an order last week by Henry to limit the size of gatherings in private residences to the immediate household plus their so-called "safe six."
The bulk of the cases are in the Fraser Health region at 268 with another 126 in Vancouver Coastal health.
The province now has 3,389 active cases.
97people are in hospital, the highest number since late April, including 24 people in intensive care.
