Dr. Tam Calls Crowded Beaches in B.C. a Problem

Canada’s top doctor said the public must be reminded that life is not going to be back to the pre-January normal.

Dr. Theresa Tam addressed B.C. directly in her daily update, noting that all gatherings of that nature should not continue. Tam said it’s up to officials to constantly remind people that is not how they are advising the public to behave. She said the advice is to go outdoors, but people must observe physical distancing measures.
