“People are doing the right thing and, as evidenced by the latest modelling data, individual actions are making a difference for all of us to stay safe and strong in the face of COVID-19.”—Joint statement by Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer, and Stephen Brown, deputy minister of health

Yesterday, B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer said that we were once again beginning to flatten the curve in our Province, attributing it to the work that all British Columbians are doing to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

She also reminded British Columbians that the actions we take this Thanksgiving weekend will shape how our Province will fare heading deeper into the fall and winter months, and upcoming holiday season.
