B.C. Recovery Phase 3 Ushers in Tomorrow
The British Columbia Province currently juggles several events at hand: the unprecedented heatwave, an insidious COVID-19 delta strain, and vaccine rollouts. However, the most important among all, is probably the proceedings of the province’s re-opening agenda. Pertaining recovery procedures will take effect on July 1st. The prerequisites for phase 3 are: low COVID-19 case counts, low hospitalization rate, and 70% of the population over 18 receiving their first dose.

- Total cases: 147,578
