BC Heightens Restrictions To Combat COVID-19 Spread – FNHA

Apr 21, 2021

BC Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has extended the existing “circuit breaker” through to at least May 25 at midnight (the end of the May long weekend), and has introduced new travel restrictions aimed at stopping the continuing rise of COVID-19 cases.

Although all details of the full travel orders are not yet finalized, these orders do include:

• Random checkpoints on major roads to ensure drivers are staying within their health authority region or travelling for essential purposes only
• BC residents will not be able to book a hotel or campsite outside of their own local health authority. Operators will cancel bookings already made
• BC Parks will refund anyone who has booked a campsite outside their health authority
• BC Ferries will stop accepting bookings for recreational vehicles (campers and trailers) and there will be no extra sailings over the May long weekend
