B.C. enters phase 3 of restart plan

BC is easing more health restrictions imposed to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, including allowing spas, hotels, resorts and RV parks to resume operating.

Premier John Horgan say the province can gradually move into the third phase of its reopening plan because it's been successful in flattening the curve of the pandemic.

But while more businesses and recreational areas are allowed to open, large public gatherings will remain capped at a maximum of 50 people.

The province has also released summer travel guidelines that include people respecting local travel advisories to remote communities and staying home if they are sick.
