Dr. Henry says the rate of transmission among young people (19 and younger) is low as well which is a good sign for return to school. #bcpoli #covid19bc
Henry says for every 100 tests done now about 2 people test positive. #bcpoli #covid19bc
Henry says we are at about 65 per cent of normal right now. "We still have it in our actions to bend our curve right now. We are at that limit." #bcpoli #covid19bc
Dr, Henry is still saying families can visit grandparents even if they go back to school. But these families need to cut down other activities. #bcpoli #bced
Henry says she understands the advice is not straightforward. Says it has changed through pandemic but the basics stay the same. Walking by someone outside is not a risk for transmission. #bcpoli #covid19bc
On community transmission and parties and those that need more motivation to pull back, Dr. Henry says she is grateful for those who have adjusted behaviour. #bcpoli #covid19bc
On low flu this year, Dr. Henry says it is good news rates seem to be lower. Says everyone should go and get a flu shot this year. "We need to be able to tell the difference between influenza and COVID." #bcpoli #covid19bc
On specifics of the 1 m policy at schools and work, Dr. Henry says if someone is face to face it need to be 2 metres but in rows can be 1 metre. #bcpoi #bced
On schools being able to put in their own mask policies, Dr. Henry says she doesn't see any schools that need to put in additional measures she describes as above and beyond. #bcpoli #covid19bc
On whether there will be daily reporting on cases in schools, Dr. Henry says there will be wide reporting of outbreaks and in some cases single case reports will be dealt with at a school by school level. #bced
