Basran goes on to thank those who have received their jabs, as well as the businesses that continue to implement COVID-19 safety plans.

According to his statement, 76 per cent of the eligible Central Okanagan population have received their first shots, while 62 per cent are fully inoculated.

Basran also acknowledged that summer is a social time of the year, but reinforces the public health officials’ message that travel to and from the region should be discouraged until more of the population is fully vaccinated.

“The sooner we all do our part, the sooner we will return to normal. Please roll up your sleeve and get vaccinated,” the mayor advised.
