BC’s state of emergency has been extended through the rest of August during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The state of emergency will now end Sept. 1.
“The vast majority of British Columbians are following Dr. Henry’s orders of seeing fewer faces in bigger spaces, but we all have to remain committed to flattening the curve,” said Premier John Horgan. “British Columbians have sacrificed a lot to keep transmission rates down, and now unsafe parties and gatherings are eroding that hard work. We’re committed to getting our province back on track and will be announcing enforcement action against those who continue to put others at risk.”
Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth added that orders that are in place are not optional, and that new measures will be brought in this week to address the actions of those who display unsafe behaviour.
The provincial government can only extend such states of emergency by up to 14 days at a time. BC has been in a state of emergency since March 18.
