VICTORIA, B.C. – “Hunker down and stay local,” says Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety, who held a conference Friday morning regarding the provincial travel restrictions.
The new travel restrictions prohibit non-essential travel into or out of all health authority regions in B.C., effective immediately.
Travel restrictions are in place until after the May long weekend, ending on May 25th.

Regarding the regional zones, the Northern Health Region and Interior Health Authority are now a combined region. People will only be able to travel within the region.
Residents may still go hiking and camping, but Farnworth reminds residents to “just do it locally”.
