Interior Health allows 50 per cent capacity for large events; participants must be fully vaccinated
KAMLOOPS – Interior Health updated its COVID-19 regional orders to make it possible for larger events to go ahead in the Interior, if participants show proof of full vaccination.
All participants at all large events in the Interior can be held at 50 people or 50 per cent of a venue’s capacity – whichever is greater. Outdoor events may include 5,000 people or 50 per cent of a venue’s capacity – whichever is greater. Proof of full vaccination will be required for participants and spectators at all events.
For smaller organized events, participants will be required to show proof of vaccination, a minimum one dose, until Oct. 24, then full vaccination (two doses) from Oct. 24 and beyond. Indoor events may be held with up to 50 people, and outdoor events may be up to 100 people.
“We can’t let our guard down now. Getting vaccinated and being able to show proof of vaccination is how we can now resume some events and activities safely and with more people,” Interior Health President and CEO Susan Brown states.
