“We that those sites have tried. We’ve made changes but there are still exhibitions,” he said.
Henry also reiterated that residents of British Columbia reduce their social interactions as they practice falling, retaining bubbles for five or six people.
He said the province’s philosophical technique in the face of the pandemic was to take into account mandatory minimum restrictions, but that occasions of exposure in places such as nightclubs had an “important source” of transmission, which depleted public fitness resources.

At the beginning of the pandemic, fitness officers and epidemiologists predicted a momentary wave of the virus, probably related to a colder climate. Now, modeling predicts one more trend of cases such as waves or “punches,” as Henry called them in the past, which will trigger when enough other people in a population are pleased with physical distance measurements.
“I think we’re on our wave of moments,” Henry said at a convention on CBC’s The Early Edition on Tuesday morning.
“It’s partly because our tests are higher and we’ve had contact with other younger people. And I think other people needed a little relief from summer. It was very excessive measures that we took in March and April, and it was very worrying about other people. “
On Tuesday, cases were shown between academics and a personal school in West Vancouver. In a letter to parents, Mulgrave School Principal John Wray wrote that the exhibition occurred while ninth graders were off campus for an off-site day camp experience.
Vancouver Coastal Health is doing contact studies and those academics lately and they are isolating themselves for two weeks. The academics were all components of the same learning organization and the camp activities took place outdoors, with physical distancing measures in place.
