Household members plus 'safe six'.   
   Not a high price to pay for keeping people well - and alive.

   Gatherings in private homes restricted, after B.C. announces record high 817   
   new cases over the weekend   
      
   Masks now an 'expectation' in all public places after sobering weekend of   
   record cases, says Dr. Bonnie Henry   
      
      
   B.C. has put new restrictions on private gatherings in homes after confirming   
   a record high 817 new cases of COVID-19 over the weekend and three more deaths   
   — the largest number of new cases in the province in a three-day period.   
      
   The new numbers cover a three-day reporting period since Friday, with 317   
   cases recorded between Friday and Saturday, 293 cases between Saturday and   
   Sunday, and 207 cases between Sunday and Monday.   
      
   The province is seeing the result of increased social gatherings over the   
   Thanksgiving weekend and the mounting cases — particularly in the Fraser   
   Health and Vancouver Coastal Health regions — are "concerning," said   
   Provincial Health Officer Dr.    
   Bonnie Henry.   
      
   "This is a bit of a sobering weekend for us," she said.   
      
   "To get through our COVID-19 storm, it requires all of us to do our part. No   
   exceptions, no workarounds, no trying to get around the very few but important   
   rules that we have in place."   
      
   The increase in new cases comes as a direct result of social gatherings   
   happening in private homes, Henry said.
