The provincial government has outlined what qualifies as an essential service, as it brings in substantial new measures to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Under B.C.’s response to the pandemic, essential services are defined by government and the provincial health officer as services that people rely on in their daily lives.
This is different from what is designated an essential service under B.C.’s Labour Relations Code, which requires certain sectors to still provide a basic level of service if they take job action during a labour dispute.
Essential services, as set out under COVID-19, “should and are encouraged to remain open,” the province says, as long as they obey public health orders to reduce the spread of the virus.
