Dix and Henry remind British Columbians to stay vigilant. 

“Anyone who is new to British Columbia from elsewhere in Canada, whether coming for work or on vacation, needs to understand that here in B.C. we are keeping our contacts small, maintaining a safe distance from others, using masks when that is challenging to do and always staying away from others if we are feeling ill. 

“Through our own personal efforts and actions, we can protect our communities, our seniors and Elders and our loved ones. Our public health teams are monitoring and managing new cases as we have modified how we run our businesses and spend time with others. 

“We have worked hard to flatten our COVID-19 curve and by continuing to stay vigilant and work together, we can continue to keep our province safe.”
