As B.C. grapples with an uptick in COVID-19 cases, video taken at a drum circle in Stanley Park Tuesday night is raising concern about whether people are heeding the advice of public health officials.

Videos taken by multiple people from several angles show a large crowd with well over 50 people gathered at Vancouver's Third Beach Tuesday evening for a weekly drumming event, with many dancing closely without masks on.

Another video taken by a jogger shows the crowd spilling from the beach and onto the seawall, making it difficult to get by. The drum circle crowd comes just days after Dr. Bonnie Henry urged people to be responsible with social events, noting that many of the new positive cases in B.C. are among people in their 20s and 30s.
