The new rules will take effect at 12:01 am on March 11.
Dr. Henry also announced that effective April 8, British Columbia will be doing away with its vaccine passport system. Businesses will also be allowed to transition from COVID safety plans to a "communicable disease plan."
She stressed that while the restrictions are being lifted, "we're not fully out of this yet," and as such British Columbians should still exercise caution.
