Dr Henry has extended her PHO order on ‘post-secondary housing COVID-19 preventive measures’ to June 30, 2022. The announcement came late this Friday afternoon.
Students living in residence are to be vaccinated, show proof of vaccination, and if not vaxxed then wear a mask in any on-campus housing other than their own room.
The extension is done with the intention to “ensure the continuing health and safety of post-secondary students living in residence”, it was stated in the release at 4:20 pm.
Many university campuses are either in exam phase or heading into reading week.
“The extension of this order continues to help reduce transmission in these higher risk settings while allowing post secondary students to safely intermingle and enjoy the social aspects of on-campus housing,” says BC Health.
