British Columbia’s provincial health officer is reminding residents to continue to follow the restrictions that are part of Phase 2 of the province’s restart program.
Dr. Bonnie Henry said despite more activity with businesses resuming operations, gatherings of any kind are still a risk, and this is a time when residents need to be careful.
“The impacts won’t been seen until early next week. I think this is also a warning sign that as businesses open we need to be very vigilant and make sure that if we have symptoms, or if we see symptoms of any kind in our employees, that we make sure they stay away from work, and that they’re tested. If we catch these early we can prevent those transmissions that lead to widespread illness in a setting.”
There is a new community outbreak at Nature’s Touch, a frozen food processing plant in Abbotsford, with five people associated with the plant identified as being positive for Covid-19.
