BC's solicitor general announced new fines for those who refuse to follow provincial orders on wearing masks in public spaces.

Those who refuse to wear masks are subject to a 230 dollar fine.

Solicitor General Mike Farnworth says in a release that masks are required for a range of public spaces, but those unable to put on or remove a mask without assistance are exempt.

The province also extended its state of emergency until December 8th.
