Dr. Bonnie Henry touched on masks and when and where we should be wearing them. Henry says that a mask, or face cover can help prevent particulates from entering the air around us, therefore helping minimize the possible spread of COVID-19.

Henry says masks can be worn indoors, in somewhat crowded settings.

The province has screened 40,000 travellers returning to B.C. for COVID-19, 152 of those have been provided with self isolation accommodation by the Province.
