B.C.’s public safety minister is set to provide an update Friday morning about COVID-19 travel restrictions in the province.
Mike Farnworth is expected to give more information on enforcement related to the restrictions.

The government has previously said it is looking at checkpoints, similar to what drivers would see over the holidays for drinking and driving.
