On Monday, B.C.'s Health Ministry announced seven more people died from COVID-19 over the weekend and there was a significant jump in hospitalizations.
As of that update, there were 431 people in hospital with COVID-19, an increase of 23 per cent from Friday and up 55 per cent from last Monday. That total included 95 patients in intensive care, which is up 16 per cent from last Monday.
Late last week, Henry announced a new public health order requiring businesses to bring back the COVID-19 safety plans they had in place earlier in the pandemic.
"These helped us get through the last number of waves and they will help us get through this one too," she said Friday.
