Dr. Henry touched on those returning home from overseas and on the Premier’s earlier announcement, that returning British Columbians are legally required to have a self-isolation plan. For those who are able to go straight home from the airport, she asks that we support each other, meaning purchasing groceries for neighbours or family members, while continuing to meet social distancing measures.

Those who do not have a self-isolation plan will be placed in self-isolation facilities provided by the government.

Regular check-ins will be conducted with those who have returned home from abroad in order to provide supports.

“Remember all that Dr. Henry has asked of us…we have to be 100% all in.”— Adrian Dix, Health Minister
