Henry says any further openings would be on the lighter side of the scale, comparing it to adjusting a dimmer switch.
But she said that would not involve increasing gatherings beyond 50 people.
Restaurants, hair salons and personal services including dentist offices and physiotherapy clinics were permitted to reopen on May 19.
Schools in B.C. have been open on a reduced attendance schedule since June 1.
The next phase of the government’s reopening plan would include movie theatres, spas, more parks and travel.
Henry reported 36 new COVID-19 cases in B.C. since Friday and no additional deaths.
The province has a total of 2,745 cases and 168 deaths.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 15, 2020.
