While the next couple of weeks are “really, really critical” in British Columbia's fight against the COVID-19 virus, measures to slow the spread of transmission could be in place for months to come.
During Tuesday's daily press conference, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said we are currently in the “first wave” of the virus in B.C., which is expected to last through to at least May.
“I do think it's more and more less likely that we're going to be able to get back to full normal life, which I miss a lot, before at least the summer and then we need to start preparing ourselves for the potential of a second wave in the fall,” she said.
“I haven't given up entirely the hope that we might get a reprieve during the summer as we do with influenza and some of the other respiratory viruses. Though, how much of a reprieve is yet to be seen.”
While there might be a slowdown of cases come summer, Dr. Henry says until a vaccine is developed, there will have to be some form of control measures in place for the foreseeable future.
