THE VANCOUVER SUN COVID-19: Reopening B.C. business will mean finding a 'new normal' not life as usual..Derrick Penner

Thursday April 30, 2019

Custom jeweller José Latchinian never had to close his showroom in South Surrey, but things have looked dicey since COVID-19 restrictions for physical distancing in retail set in.

“I must say the first couple of weeks, two, three weeks, it was deader than anything over here,” said Latchinian. “I was going OK, I may have to close my doors, but that’s not me.”

Latchinian is hopeful about the future, but knows getting there isn’t going to be easy.
