Small outdoor gatherings permitted in time for Spring Break, travel discouraged
KAMLOOPS — Students in the Kamloops-Thompson School District are looking forward to a week-long break from school, but health officials are urging families to abide by current health guidelines.
Nevertheless, restrictions have been eased slightly. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has announced outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people are now permitted.
“This means your children can have a play date with their friends over the March break,” Henry said, “but with their same group of friends, and if they’re in school, the group of friends that they’re in a cohort with at school. You can meet friends outside and have a coffee, have a chat, have a connection, have a picnic in a park with your grandparents.”
