“COVID-19 has required all of us to change how we work, go to school and spend time with friends and family. This has put an emotional and mental strain on everyone,” reads a release by Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry and Deputy Minister, Stephen Brown.

“Despite this added obstacle, people across B.C. have risen to the challenge with compassion and determination to help keep our curve where we need it to be.”–Release by Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry and Deputy Minister, Stephen Brown

The duo are asking British Columbians to take a moment to be kind, by thanking staff at local grocery stores, reaching out to an elderly neighbour to see what they may need help with or sending a note to a friend you haven’t seen in a while.

“Let’s protect our communities by choosing to do our part every day. This is what will keep us strong and allow us to get through the COVID-19 pandemic,” ends the statement.
