VANCOUVER — With the B.C. COVID-19 vaccine card program in effect as of Monday (Sept. 13), the provincial government is allowing Interior Health (IH) residents a return to closer-to-normal.
In a news conference Monday afternoon, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced additional restrictions put in place August 20 in IH have been eased for those businesses and facilities using the B.C. vaccine card. Residents will still need to abide by province-wide restrictions — such as a mask mandate in all indoor, public places — and will need to provide a proof-of-vaccination for access to certain non-essential activities.
Henry also announced two-dose vaccination is being made a condition of employment in the B.C. healthcare sector, including for those who work in home and community settings. Henry’s order comes into effect on Oct. 26.
Healthcare workers can request exemptions of the provincial health ministry.
