Premier John Horgan says he wants to make sure the province isn't getting ahead of itself before any decisions are made about lifting COVID-19 restrictions.

Horgan told reporters after a cabinet meeting that the public can expect an announcement before the middle of May about how the province will start to open up.

But he says his government will be guided by science to ensure an early start doesn't jeopardize successes in containing the virus.

Horgan says two recent outbreaks at the federal prison in Mission and a Vancouver poultry processing plant are a warning that people can't be complacent.
