health officials announced 1,889 new cases of COVID-19. There are currently 8,490 active cases of coronavirus in the province, and public health is monitoring 11,989 people across B.C. Monday's update follows concerning numbers released Saturday, when health officials announced back-to-back single-day records for new cases. "Let's be clear, there's a lot of people in hospital, a lot of people in critical care," Dix said. Health officials also urged British Columbians to stay home for the holiday weekend, but mayors in some tourist destinations said over the weekend that they were noticing an influx of visitors.
