The latest round of health restrictions won’t be relaxed in Northern Health anytime soon.
It’s in response to sustained rates of COVID-19 activity and the impact on health care resources.
Health Officials have determined there remains a need for regional public health measures to limit transmission, reduce case counts, and reduce rates of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in our region.
The Gatherings and Events Order was originally implemented on October 14th. Current measures will remain in effect pending further assessment of the region’s COVID-19 status.
Northern Health states while immunization rates continue to increase in larger centres across the north, some parts of the region still have some of the lowest vaccination rates in BC.
