Provincial state of emergency extended

Premier John Horgan announced last night that he was extending the province’s State of Emergency through April 14 due to the COVID pandemic.

In a speech to the province he summarized what the government has done under the emergency measures order.

He also echoed provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, saying what we do today will have an effect down the road and there are signs it is working.

“The next 14 days are critically important in our province’s unprecedented fight against COVID-19,” said Horgan. “What we do today will affect what our doctors, nurses and first responders face in the days and weeks ahead. Today, we’re asking all British Columbians to re-commit to doing their part. There are early signs that our actions are making a difference, and we can’t stop now.”

Horgan also thanked the healthcare workers for putting themselves on the line for all of us.
