B.C. is lifting its mask mandate for indoor public spaces Friday and the use of vaccine passports will no longer be required in the coming weeks, health officials announced Thursday.
Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix gave the update in the afternoon, and shared a timeline for when other health measures will be lifted.
As of Friday at 12:01 a.m., the province’s face coverings order will be repealed, but not everywhere. "I'll continue to wear my mask if I'm on public transit and I would encourage others to do so too," she said. "We know it protects us, but it's also a sign of respect and protection for others."
