Health Minister Adrian Dix says the COVID-19 pandemic has not ended and he’s urging people to continue to stay safe and ensure they have been vaccinated.

The minister made the comments at a news conference announcing the government is seeking proposals to build a new hospital and cancer centre in Surrey.He says it’s unclear what the COVID infection rate will look like this fall, but they’re preparing for a possible spike in respiratory illnesses.
