BC's Restart is a careful, four-step plan to bring B.C. back together. Starting May 25, we can gradually begin to restart our important social connections, businesses and activities. Getting vaccinated is the most important tool supporting our restart. 

How we move through the steps

To move through the steps, we're looking for:

• Declining COVID-19 case counts
• Increasing vaccination rate in people 18+
  
• Declining COVID-19 hospitalizations, including critical care
• Declining COVID-19 mortality rate

Step 1: Starting May 25

The criteria for Step 1 is at least 60% of the 18+ population vaccinated with dose 1, along with stable case counts and COVID-19 hospitalizations. 

PHO guidance

• Physical distancing and masks continue to be required in public indoor settings
• If you or anyone in your family feels sick stay home and get tested immediately
