“This weekend, we urge everyone to stay strong and hold the line.”–Joint Statement by Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister, Adrian Dix

“We have it within our ability to make the changes we need to bend our pandemic curve back down and continue in our B.C. restart, but it takes the combined efforts of everyone, not just a few,” continues the statement.

Once again the duo are asking British Columbians to keep a safe distance from each other, this weekend, and for the foreseeable future, continuing to practice health and safety recommendations.

“Remember that each new interaction outside your bubble holds a risk that you then bring back to your family and friends. In these circumstances, we must stand together, by staying apart,” closes the statement.
