British Columbia is poised to drop the requirement to wear masks in public, indoor spaces.

Dr. Bonnie Henry, health minister Adrian Dix, Premier John Horgan and economic recovery minister Ravi Kahlon will make the announcement at 1:45 p.m. PT.

Global News has also learned outdoor events will be able to have up to 5,000 people and indoor events can have up to 50 per cent capacity.

The minimum is 50 people. So any venue with a capacity up to 50 can have full capacity.

Starting on July 1, masks will be recommended, but not mandated, in public indoor spaces.

The change is just part of the province’s move to Step 3 on Thursday.
