All COVID-19 restrictions will remain in place in B.C. at least through the May long weekend, health authorities announced today.
The extension of restrictions, such as banning indoor dining in restaurants, came during a news briefing by provincial health authorities today, April 19, that outlined the risk to the health care system because of the growing number of COVID-19 cases.
“Overall provincial occupancy rates remain under but close to base-bed capacity which is unusual compared to pre-COVID-19 years, which would be generally higher,” the Ministry of Health briefing documents say. “However, (there is) some significant regional and site variation in terms of occupancy and (the) underlying one-year stress and tiredness of hospital staff working in COVID-19 environments."
