From today’s statement

“British Columbia continues to maintain our positive momentum, allowing our province to safely move forward with Step 3 of BC’s Restart plan. We have seen that community transmission, hospitalizations and deaths are all declining as immunizations are going up.

“Importantly, as the level of risk has decreased, we can now bridge from COVID-19 public health orders to safety guidance.

“Orders are no longer necessary in many settings. This will be reflected in the changes coming into effect on July 1, 2021. For full details, visit the provincial health officer’s website.

“This is a significant transition for all of us. So we encourage everyone to be respectful of others who may be moving at a slower pace, as we take this next step forward to put the COVID-19 pandemic behind us and make this a summer of hope and rejuvenation.”
