Premier John Horgan says his government will announce plans next week to start loosening some restrictions imposed to curtail the spread of COVID-19. He says he’s resisted laying out roadmaps as other provinces have done because people assume that’s the green light to resume regular activity — but that’s not the case. Horgan also says B-C is better off than other regions because it has allowed construction, agriculture and other industries to continue operating. Despite looking forward to re-opening the economy, his government has extended a provincial state of emergency as he warns the province must not give up hard-won gains against COVID-19.
