B.C.鈥檚 top doctor has issued another ban on businesses amid COVID-19, this time on personal service establishments.
This includes services such as salons, spas, massage parlours and tattoo parlours, Dr. Bonnie Henry announced during a news conference on Saturday.
鈥淚 know most of the businesses have closed, but it鈥檚 come to my attention that there鈥檚 still confusion out there,鈥� Henry said.
On Friday, Henry ordered that all restaurants provincewide would have to close its doors to dine-in guests and instead operate only through takeout or delivery services. Earlier this week, she banned bars and nightclubs from operating until further notice, as well as put a ban on large gatherings of more than 50 people.
