A Henry - excited about the prospect of hockey but not bending the rules or anything that would undo hard work that& #39;s been done here in BC - hasn& #39;t seen plan yet

Q are there ways to allow families to see loved ones in long term care?
Dr Henry: Don& #39;t think that because we couldn& #39;t put on a specific date on it yet that there is not one coming - work is being done. But options vary greatly. Numbers today hopeful.

Q Will masks at schools ever be needed - esp for staff
Dr Henry: don& #39;t see them req ongoing in that setting. Optional if want.
Other measures are more important - fewer kids in same group, staggered times, distance, not touching each other, hand hygiene
