“Living with COVID-19 in our communities means finding the balance of protecting ourselves and those around us, and restarting and keeping going with activities that are safe for our communities,” said Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.
“We have adapted and learned many things to create our new normal, and we’ll continue to learn and adapt as we move forward. We also know what we need to do to keep ourselves and those around us safe, and must now prepare for whatever may lie ahead this fall and winter.”
