British Columbia health officials are reporting a dramatic spike in COVID-19 cases, while they order a pause indoor physical activities.
B.C. recorded 941 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday and 10 deaths.
There are 7,732 active COVID-19 cases in B.C., and 284 people are in hospital.
Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix say in a joint statement that residents need to support B.C.'s health-care workers by slowing the spread of COVID-19.
The latest peak in numbers comes as health officials ordered dance studios, yoga studios and other indoor physical activity spaces to suspend operations as new guidance is developed.
Dr. Henry and Dix urged the public to think of COVID-19 patients and the effect the virus is having on their family members.
