Premier John Horgan is upbeat about the province’s progress leading up to COVID-19 restrictions being lifted tomorrow, and he’s crediting provincial health officer Doctor Bonnie Henry’s ongoing leadership since the start of the pandemic.
Horgan says B-C has had quote, “extraordinary results” in getting to high vaccination rates and keeping the number of cases and deaths low compared with other provincial jurisdictions such as Quebec and Ontario.
At the last government briefing, Henry said that up to five-thousand people will be allowed to gather at outdoor venues as of Canada Day, and nightclubs will be open with some barriers in place.
September should see the lifting of all restrictions and Henry says any transmission of COVID-19 will be closely monitored and reported to the public as part of routine surveillance of communicable diseases including the flu.
