British Columbia health officials say the number of COVID-19 cases across the province continues to be too high.
Dr. Bonnie Henry and deputy health minister Stephen Brown say in a joint statement that thousands of residents are being forced to deal with the stress of self-isolating as a result of others not following proper COVID-19 safety precautions.
They say everyone needs to follow the proper safety guidelines to ensure businesses and communities can remain open.
B.C. announced 91 new cases on Wednesday for a total of 8,395.
There are 1,376 active cases, with 62 people in hospital and 18 in intensive care.
