To help keep communities safe and protect British Columbia’s health-care
system from COVID-19, the Province is introducing travel restrictions that
limit non-essential travel in B.C.
On the advice of Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer (PHO),
Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, has issued
a new order using the extraordinary powers of the Emergency Program Act to
prohibit non-essential travel between three regional zones in the province,
using health authority boundaries. The regional zones are:
1. Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley (Fraser Health and Coastal Health
regions);
2. Vancouver Island (Island Health region); and
3. Northern/Interior (Interior Health and Northern Health regions).
While the order puts legal limits only on travel between regional zones,
the PHO’s guidance remains unchanged throughout B.C.: everyone should
continue to stay within their local community – essential travel only.
This order will be in effect from April 23 through May 25, 2021, (after the
May long weekend). It applies to everyone in the province, including
non-essential travellers from outside the province.
