“There continue to be community exposure events; including ones in Vancouver Coastal Health and Interior Health, and on flights into and out of British Columbia.”—Joint Statement, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister, Adrian Dix

Once again Dr.Bonnie Henry and Health Minister, Adrian Dix are reminding the public to continue to use the tools we have learned over the past several months. “Remember, we can all help public health teams in contact tracing by using the skills we have learned: Keep gatherings small, have a designated ‘contact keeper,’ limit time with others, maintain physical distance, and always stay home if you’re feeling unwell,” read the statement.

“What we do each day protects us, our families and friends and our communities. Let’s continue to work together to bend the curve not the rules,” closed the joint statement.
