Now that the second phase of B.C.’s plan to reopen the economy is underway as of Tuesday, what services can get going again under a “new normal” and COVID-19?

Health services are included, such as elective surgeries, dentistry, physiotherapy, registered massage therapy and chiropractors.

Hair salons, barber shops and other personal services can also start to reopen under strict measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, as can restaurants, pubs and cafes.

Some retail stores, such as The Hudson’s Bay Company and Artizia, have already started to welcome back customers under new rules. That sector was never ordered to close, but many businesses chose to do so soon after the province urged all gatherings of more than 50 people to be cancelled.

These new guidelines will also be in place at libraries, office-based worksites, sports and recreation facilities, parks, beaches and child care facilities.
