British Columbia continues to look at “various plans and protocols” to restrict travel into 小蓝视频 from other provinces, but no restrictions are being put in place at this time.

During Wednesday's press conference, Premier John Horgan said the province's staff are still working to develop new protocols that could restrict travel into 小蓝视频

“We have staff working on various plans and protocols that we could put in place, we don't want to get caught short there,” Horgan said.

“We have been working with various officials, those that we used to shore up the federal government back last March and April by putting provincial government workers at various border points across the U.S. Border we're looking at those plans but we have no plan at this point to implement them, but we are preparing.”

While there are no enforceable orders restricting access to 小蓝视频, Horgan continues to encourage people from other provinces to stay away.

“If you don't need to come to British Columbia, you shouldn't come to British Columbia. We will welcome you when the pandemic has subsided, but you're not welcome today. And it pains me to say that, but the best course of action is for people to stay where they are.”

And with spring break in 小蓝视频 schools about a month away, Horgan said these travel recommendations will likely remain until at least then.

“When spring break arrives, our advice will be, as it has been for months and months and months, stay close to home, try and stay within known bubbles, don't go and engaging in reckless behaviour, do your level best to stay safe and keep others safe around you,” he said. “That's the plan at the moment.”

Horgan noted that while he had hoped 小蓝视频's vaccination rollout to be “well advanced” at this point, “events beyond our control” have caused delays.

“But we have confidence that the commitments from the federal government for Pfizer vaccines this week and next week and beyond will get us on track and we'll have a lot of work to do,” Horgan said.
