In a joint statement, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and health minister Adrian Dix urged caution as the province advances to the next step of its restart plan.

"While many of the orders will be amended or no longer be in effect, it is about the gradual restart of our province, moving at a pace that works for each of us.

"The provincial health office and public health teams will continue to closely monitor our progress to ensure we remain on track through the summer, and we must also do our part.

"Even with the changes, masks remain an important layer of protection, and we should all continue to wear them in all indoor public spaces until we have immunity from the second dose of vaccine."
