BC committed to making changes to COVID-19 restrictions by spring break, if possible | FULL
B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix held a COVID-19 briefing on Tuesday as cases and hospitalizations continue to decline.
There are no changes coming to current COVID-19 restrictions in B.C. at this time but health officials say the province is moving to a better place “rapidly.” This comes as other provinces are considering lifting mask mandates or have already lifted the requirement.
Henry said Tuesday that B.C. will be removing those protections when it is safe to do so.
“We will have continued uncertainty as we move through the summer, we hopefully will be in a good place for the next few months because of the immunity that we have, and where we are, to be able to relieve some of the pressure of some of these measures that are in place,” she said.
“But we need to be prepared for immunity to wane again and for us to have new approaches and adapt depending on what we see come the fall.”
