During an update today Premier John Horgan says the government is taking unprecedented steps to protect supply chains for goods and services, and stopping the resale of food and medical supplies.
Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth issued a series of orders today to establish a unit to co-ordinate the distribution of goods and services, the unit will work collaboratively with businesses. Retailers and suppliers must report on the inventory of critical supplies.
The resale of food, medical supplies, personal protective equipment and cleaning products has also been banned. Municipal bylaw officers will also be allowed to enforce orders limiting the size of gatherings and business. At this time all municipal states of emergency have been suspended to allow for a coordinated approach under the provincial state of emergency.
