Dr. Henry says that there are areas that were safe before, but are not safe now with the amount of community transmission occurring.

BC Health Officials noted that social gatherings and religious gatherings need to stay paused until the surge in COVID-19 cases ends.

Holiday shopping is an area where Dr. Bonnie Henry says she is concerned about transmission.

“Support local businesses who need our support,” says Dr. Henry. “Please remember that we need to stick with our immediate household right now”

Health officials say that if you do not want to wear a mask, you should shop online, and order take-out.
