The Health Minister says the next month is going to be serious, in a way “that we have not seen in our lifetimes.”

Speaking on The Jeff Andreas Show, Adrian Dix says there’s no community in B.C. that COVID-19 can’t reach, and says the government needs 100-per-cent compliance for the restrictions in place, to ease the burden that is to come on our healthcare system.

“There’s no chance that things will get easier soon. So the restrictions that have been put on which have effectively locked down society – cancellation of school classes, insistence that people who are sick stay home, the insistence that people who return to B.C. self-isolate for 14 days in their own home, the changes to restaurants and bars, there’s no chance those will change soon,” Dix says.

“April is going to be a hard month. And that is why right now, right here, we need 100 per cent compliance. If there’s some people in the audience who have said ‘ well, it hasn’t really affected me yet,’ or ‘I don’t know anyone who’s involved yet,’ well it involves everybody.”

Dix says B.C. is prepared for possible surge in cases, having opened up more than 3,600 acute care beds province-wide.
