It provides requirements on how to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 and maintain safe and healthy environments for those participating in group low intensity exercise. https://bit.ly/387KcUS Note these Guidelines can be found on the BC Government COVID-19 Orders and Notices webpage under the 'Guidance' section: https://bit.ly/2JUxj8T
