Event restrictions ease as two-dose vaccine requirements begin

More people will be able to attend organized gatherings and events as B.C.’s two-dose vaccine requirements come into effect on Sunday, but mask requirements will remain in place.

Provincial officials said those 12 and older will have to present their BC Vaccination Card to attend certain events, services and businesses starting Monday.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced the 50% capacity limit for indoor events will be eased to allow full capacity for fully immunized attendees.
