Restrictions Extended

The B.C. government is extending a ban on social gatherings, events, indoor dining and group fitness activities for adults through the May long weekend. The current restrictions will now be in place until May 24 at midnight – 12 a.m. May 25. The number of daily COVID cases in B.C. is now on a downward trend, but hospitalizations continue to go up. The province put a circuit breaker in place three weeks ago.

Understanding how this behaviour has evolved and responding effectively to those changes will be critical to enabling businesses to recover in a post-pandemic economy. That time has come. Authorities across Canada and other parts of the world have begun to reopen their economies, and the hospitality sector is gearing up to open its doors once again.
