What’s Happen in Phase 3
People can take part in smart, safe and respectful travel within B.C. Remember, international travellers returning to B.C. are required by law to self-isolate for 14 days and complete a self-isolation plan.
The BC Restart Plan takes a phased approach to reopening. This allows sectors and activities within the phases to open when the evidence and data tells us the time is right, and as protocols and guidance are in place for them to do so safely.

The following are businesses that may be reopening and some measures that may be in place.
K-12 in-person classes, 2020/2021 school year
Post-secondary in-person classes, 2020/2021 academic year
