❗ Dr. Henry reiterated that small groups inside like for house parties are a risk, and small and large groups outside are a risk.

🟥 Another two people have died due to COVID-19. My heart goes out to the families.

🟢 The Ministry of Health is suspending paid parking at hospitals for staff, patients, and visitors starting Wednesday April 1st.

❗ Today BC received a shipment of one million surgical masks.

✅ 469 people or 48% of cases have fully recovered.

As Dr. Henry said today, we are at a critical turning point in this pandemic. What happens next is in our hands; we must practice social distancing.

We can do this.

Be safe. Be well.
