VICTORIA—Premier John Horgan offered ‘congratulations’ to British Columbians as the province gets ready to move into Phase 3 of B.C.’s Restart Plan.

Moving into the third phase means that things such as hotels, resorts, parks and the film industry will have the support of the public health and WorksafeBC to re-open “slowly.” With this announcement, the Premier also extended B.C.’s state of emergency to July 7.

“Under the guidance of the Public Health Officer, we are now able to move slowly, into phase three of our four phase plan.”—John Horgan, B.C. Premier

Phase three will allow for more in province travelling, which both the Premier, and Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry stress must be done “safely.”

Horgan saying that before travelling anywhere in the province, British Columbians should have a travel plan, ensuring that the community you are travelling to is prepared to receive you—as some communities are still reluctant to allow visitors.
