“Those who are not fully vaccinated will not be able to visit in health-care settings as we go into this time of increased respiratory illness and challenges,” provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said at a Tuesday press conference.
“We will of course have exceptions for certain situations, like palliative and end-of-life care,” Henry said.
