Will B.C. reinstate public health measures as infections climb?
Coronavirus hospitalizations continue to climb in B.C., rising 35 per cent to 369 Thursday , up from 273 last week. This is the highest count since June 2, when there were 421 such patients in B.C. hospitals.
When asked directly if the government will re-implement public health measures, Dix emphasized that people need to get up to date with their vaccinations to curb the spread of the virus. B.C.'s paid sick leave also allows employees to stay home when they experience flu-like symptoms, Dix said.Public health advice has changed several times and will continue to "adapt to the circumstances," he added. "Not for me to speculate what that might be in the future."
