British Columbia
The Government of British Columbia announced the following
measures:
Personal service establishments, such as barbershops, salons,
nail estheticians, health spas, massage parlours, tattoo shops, and
others have been ordered to close until further notice.
Steps are being taken to support the child care sector to ensure
parents who work in critical roles continue to have access to child
care. The Province will give centres that remain open compensation
to continue operating with reduced enrolment. Centres that close
will also receive support for fixed operating costs, like rent or
lease payments. In exchange, these centres must agree to reserve
space for families that were accessing their services before the
pandemic, even if those families choose to temporarily withdraw, so
that families can be assured their spot will be there once the
pandemic passes.
