Churches can remain open, so long as they continue to abide by existing regulations.

Restrictions regarding outside visitations and in restaurants remain in place. But Henry said inspectors will be 91裸聊视频渃racking down91裸聊视频� on those places where rules aren91裸聊视频檛 being followed.

Henry said people should stop non-essential travel into, or out of, the two Lower Mainland health regions. Henry said she is 91裸聊视频渁dvising in the strongest terms that people need to stay in their local community, reduce their social interactions and travel when it91裸聊视频檚 essential.91裸聊视频�

Anyone operating indoor group physical activities must stop holding activities until updated safety plans are in place. Those safety plans must be approved by local health officers.

Henry said enforcement will be stepped up to ensure employers and workers are abiding by COVID-19 orders.

91裸聊视频淲e have had many instances of transmission in people91裸聊视频檚 homes,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淲e are seeing a steady and worrisome increase of people with serious illness requiring hospitalization and critical care.91裸聊视频�

Henry said the province91裸聊视频檚 strategy had revolved around maintaining enough capacity in the health care system to help both those with COVID-19, and those with other ailments.

She said those efforts, and the goal of keeping businesses and schools open, are 91裸聊视频渋n jeopardy.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淧rovincial health orders are always a last resort, but right now, these orders are needed,91裸聊视频� Henry said.

Asked about the prospects of keeping schools open, Henry said there have been little transmission of the virus within those facilities, although children have contracted COVID-19 elsewhere in the community and then come to school, prompting exposure notices.

91裸聊视频淪chools are not amplifying this virus, they are merely reflecting what is going on in the community.91裸聊视频�

Although the new orders are for the Lower Mainland, Dix said that people in other regions of the province 91裸聊视频渟hould keep your guard up.91裸聊视频�

He noted that those regions are also seeing higher case counts recently.
