For some themes to consider for the weekend ahead, Dr. Henry observed for British Columbians that much of what we face is within our control and with commitment to breaking the chain of transmission we can continue to work towards reversing the current increases"
“For many months now, COVID-19 has been a part of our communities. As a result, we have had to adapt and learn new ways to protect ourselves and each other.
Despite the uncertainty and stress that has come with this, there is much that is in our control. Take confidence in knowing that always using our layers of protection reduces our risks, helps to break the chains of transmission and keeps the virus under control.
We are all facing the same obstacle. With kindness and compassion to friends and neighbours, and steadfast commitment to doing the right thing, we will get through this together.”
