Dr. Henry says that as we continue through summer, simple steps will help slow the spread of the virus in British Columbia.
“The actions you take every day make a difference and will help to protect all of us.”
While spending time with friends and family near home or on vacation, British Columbians are reminded to avoid closed spaces, crowds and close contact with others.
The more layers of protection people use, the safer we will all be.
People are reminded to continue washing hands regularly, using barriers, staying a safe distance from others and wearing a mask when physical distancing is difficult.
