On Tuesday, June 15, we entered Step 2 of BC’s Restart Plan. Thanks to our collective
efforts and commitment to getting vaccinated against COVID-19, Step
2 means we can now all enjoy things like backyard BBQs, birthday parties,
movie theatres, sports games, and more! Some examples
of new things we can do in Step 2 include:
I am so grateful for all the sacrifices
British Columbians have made to get us where we are now. More than 76% of adults are now vaccinated with their first
dose, and COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to steadily
decline. I’m so excited for myself and everyone else this summer to be able to reconnect with loved
ones, safely enjoy what our province has to offer, and to
welcome better days ahead.
We’ve come so far in our fight against COVID-19.
But as we look forward to brighter days, we must continue to follow public health protocols and remain vigilant in stopping the spread. Masks
are still mandatory, physical distancing remains a
requirement, and as always, please stay home and get tested if you are sick. I also encourage everyone to check in with their friends and loved
ones aged 12+ to make sure everyone is registered to receive their
vaccine. Those that aren't registered can sign up at gov.bc.ca/getvaccinated.
