British Columbia Premier John Horgan says people in the province should congratulate themselves for their efforts to flatten the COVID-19 curve, but says it's still too early to loosen.
Horgan says most people are following the orders of provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry to self-isolate if sick, practise physical distancing and frequent hand washing.
Horgan says recent data says most people in B.C. stayed close to home over the Easter holiday weekend and did not visit their weekend cottages or take drives to nearby communities.
The premier says Henry will release up-to-date data models Friday that show B.C.'s successes in bending the curve of the pandemic.
Horgan also announced that B.C. is extending the provincial state of emergency for two more weeks until April 28.
