VICTORIA — British Columbia is further easing restrictions that are in place because of COVID-19, allowing hotels, motels, spas, resorts, hostels and RV parks to resume operating.

Premier John Horgan says the province been successful at flattening the curve on COVID-19, which means the province can ease more health restrictions and gradually move into the third phase of its reopening plan.

He says the province is able to open more industries, institutions and recreation areas, but gatherings of people must remain at 50 people or less.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says recent modelling data shows if B.C. residents remains at their current level of contact with other people, then COVID-19 infection rates can be held in check.
