B.C.'s provincial health officer extended the ban on social gatherings for another month on Monday, as the province recorded 35 more deaths related to COVID-19 and 2,020 new cases over the weekend.

Residents will continue to only be able to socialize with people in their household until Jan. 8 at midnight, Dr. Bonnie Henry announced.

All events and gatherings are also banned until that time, with the exception of drive-thru and drop-off events, such as toy drives and light shows.

Other restrictions will continue indefinitely, including a ban on in-person faith services and high-intensity group fitness classes.

Henry said the restrictions put in place earlier this month are starting to work, but the province can't afford a rebound of cases and a resulting surge in hospitalizations.

"We are not yet through this storm and we can not let up now," she said.

The latest reporting period spanned three days and included: 647 cases between Friday and Saturday, 726 cases between Saturday and Sunday, and 647 cases between Sunday and Monday.

The province has 9,380 active cases. A total of 349 people are in hospital, with 77 people in intensive care.
