Premier John Horgan is expected to hold a news conference and take questions from the media on Wednesday at 1:15 p.m. PT. He is expected to announce the next steps for the provincial state of emergency, after declaring it on March 19 and extending it during a televised address on March 31 until today.
A provincial state of emergency gives the government sweeping powers, such as using any land or property considered necessary to address the pandemic, controlling travel to or from any area of B.C., and to ban the resale of essential goods such as food and medical supplies.
The news conference will be carried live on our website, BC1, CKNW and on the Global BC Facebook page. [ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest coronavirus
