British Columbia has reported another 656 new cases of COVID-19.

The province also said 16 more people have died from the virus, leaving the death count at 457.

“Without exception, follow the provincial health officer’s orders in place. Remember that events, which refer to anything that gathers people together – whether on a one-time, regular or irregular basis – are not allowed for now.
