Dr. Henry has spoken! By order and direction of the Provincial Health Officer (PHO), BC restrictions have been extended until Feb 5, 2021. All events and social gatherings are suspended until Feb 5, 2021 toย significantly reduce COVID-19 transmission related toย social interactions and travel.ย
Restrictions. What does this mean to you?
It means no playdates, no outdoor gatherings, no backyard gatherings, no indoor or outdoor events (except drive-in), no eating in restaurants with anyone outside of your household bubble.
What’s still allowed?
These activitiesย are notย considered a social gathering:
Going for a walk. You must make sure a walk does notย turn into a group of people meeting outside
Parents carpooling kids to and from school
Grandparentsย providingย child care
Public pools and public skating rinks, when not associated with an event, are allowed to continue to operate with a COVID-19 Safety Plan
Youth extracurricular activities like those offered by Arts Umbrella and NSST, as listed here.
Of course, mask-wearing is still a requirement in all public indoor settings, as outlined in theย mask mandate order.ย A face shieldย isย not a substitute for a mask as it has anย opening below the mouth.
Now, how to fill the time on a rainy day while limited screen-time and not having playdates? Here are a few ideas to fill your weekend and keep your children busy.
