Coronavirus: BC premier John Horgan calls for "pan-Canadian" approach to travel restrictions

B.C. Premier John Horgan is calling for a “pan-Canadian” approach to restricting non-essential travel across the country, but he is not asking for the federal government to ban inter-provincial travel.

Horgan is asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to push premiers to put in bans on vacation, recreational travel, and travel to visit loved ones.

“We need to make sure that people in Coquitlam are living under the same rules as people in Chicoutimi,” Horgan said.

British Columbia does not have a ban in place for non-essential travel, but there is an expectation that provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry will ban non-essential travel on Thursday when the province updates restrictions.
