VANCOUVER --
More than 30 people died of COVID-19 over the weekend in B.C., health officials announced in an update Monday.
Speaking live from Victoria, the provincial health officer said the province's pandemic death toll has climbed to 1,078.
The "vast majority" of those who died over the last three days were seniors and Elders in long-term care, Dr. Bonnie Henry said, offering condolences to those who've lost loved ones.
Additionally, another 1,330 people have been confirmed to have the disease, Henry said.
Thirteen of those cases were in patients who normally reside outside of Canada. The province's top doctor didn't provide specifics, but said most of the people in that group are temporary foreign workers who've come to B.C. to work on farms ahead of the coming agricultural season.
