As Phase 2 of B.C.’s reopening plan starts Tuesday and businesses start to operate under a “new normal”, officials are continuing to warn residents to remember they need to practise social distancing and good hand hygiene. “For many, the transition brings anticipation, but it also, for many brings further apprehension and anxiety,” provincial health officer Dr.
Bonnie Henry said Monday. “Once again, we are still learning new ways of safe social interactions and doing things that we’ve never had to do.” Two more people have died of COVID-19 in B.C.
in the past 48 hours. Both people were in long-term care homes, one in the Fraser Health region and one in the Vancouver Coastal Health region.
