COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2020, had a significant impact on the lives of British Columbians. The virus spread rapidly, leading to various public health measures such as lockdowns and mask mandates. The government worked hard to protect people and stop the spread. Many businesses closed, and schools switched to online learning. People had to stay home to keep everyone safe. Healthcare workers fought bravely on the front lines, and scientists worked together to develop vaccines. Despite the challenges, British Columbians showed resilience and care for each other.^[1]
