VICTORIA — A rare Saturday update from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix provided a stern Dr. Henry issuing new orders in an effort to curb the steadily increasing number of COVID-19 cases in BC.
Communities within the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health Regions, with the exception of Bella Coola Valley and the central coast, are affected by the order which focuses on social gatherings, travel, indoor group physical activities, and workplace safety. The orders are effective until Monday, November 23, at 12pm.
“This will give us a chance to stop the transmission, to have a break in that rising transmission rate that we are seeing. We need to focus our attention on that now,” explained Dr. Henry.
Dr. Henry went into further detail for the orders. There will be no social gatherings of any size with anyone other than your immediate household. This supersedes the prior mass gathering order. Weddings and funerals may continue with immediate household, however, no associated receptions.
