The latest public health order issued in British Columbia left some people with questions.
As of Friday, residents of the province are asked not to travel outside of their region for non-essential purposes.
The regions, for the purpose of this order, are Lower Mainland-Fraser Valley, Northern-Interior and Vancouver Island.
Those caught breaking the rules can be fined up to $575, Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth announced Friday. These rules are in effect until midnight on May 25, and include all travel considered non-essential.
But many have asked what actually is considered non-essential travel. CTV News asked Farnworth at a news conference Friday.
"It is focused on recreational travel," he said in response to a question from Bhinder Sajan.
"I recognize that there are essential reasons to travel and they are listed in the order."
That list, posted online Friday, is as follows:
Travel for vacations, weekend getaways and tourism activities is not considered essential. Visiting family or friends for social reasons is also not permitted outside a person's travel region, and neither is travel for recreation activities.
And while it's not banned under the Emergency Program Act order, members of the public are encouraged to stay where they live as much as possible.
As an example, Farnworth said, he lives in the Tri-Cities area of Metro Vancouver, and will not be going to White Rock, even though both are technically in both his travel region and his health authority region.
The idea is to limit the spread of COVID-19 as much as possible as the province deals with its third wave of the disease.
