The province is enabling police to issue $2000 dollar fines to people engaged in price gouging, the re-selling of medical supplies, and for those who fail to self-quarantine after returning from travel.
B.C.'s minister of public safety Mike Farnworth made the announcement on Sunday morning.
On April 15 B.C. Premier John Horgan extended the provincial state of emergency by two weeks.
States of emergency can only be issued for two weeks at a time in B.C.
The declaration gives the province extraordinary powers during a crisis, including the ability to restrict travel and set prices for essential goods like medical supplies and food.
More to come.
