                              Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry urged B.C. residents to stay home, not travel and not engage in social interactions on Monday, saying COVID numbers have plateaued at an average of 500 cases a day — a number she said was still dangerously high.

                              She said the shortage of vaccine, combined with the presence of more infectious variants, means the province is at a critical point.

                              "For the last few weeks, we have plateaued at 500 new cases. This is too many. We are at a precipice. The virus continues to circulate in our communities. We are at the threshold of where we were in late October and November when cases started escalating," she said.

                              "Over the next two weeks, I believe we can bend our curve. Not just plateau, but bend it back down."

                              B.C. has recorded 1,344 new cases of COVID-19 and 26 deaths over a three-day period.
