Reselling supplies now prohibited
The province has also forbidden the resale of essential supplies like food, medical supplies, personal protective equipment and cleaning products during the outbreak. People who ignore the ban can be fined up to $10,000, jailed for one year, or both.
"Selfish people, hoarders ... that's who we are speaking to today," Horgan said.
The B.C. government announced sweeping new measures to ban the resale of food, medical supplies and protective equipment amid the COVID-19 pandemic Thursday.
