Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix warned British Columbians to maintain distance and find different ways to connect with loved ones in the upcoming holidays.

“Coming together of even small groups can be very problematic,” said Henry reminding British Columbians that even though there is a ban on gatherings of 50 people or more it doesn’t mean it’s safe to get together in smaller groups either.

“We need to continue to stay united to stay strong.” — Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer
