“We are requiring you to self isolate upon your return.”—Dr. Bonnie Henry

Yesterday Henry announced that COVID-19 was identified at the Kearl Lake oilsands project in Alberta, which involved staff from B.C.

Henry reiterated what she said yesterday about “requiring” anyone returning to B.C. from that project to immediately self isolate for 14 days. For those who have been home for longer they are asked to contact 8-1-1 if they had any symptoms during that time.

109 people are hospitalized due to the virus at this time, 1,041 people have recovered from COVID-19 in B.C.

“I know you’ve heard this before, but every day counts.”—Dr. Henry

Henry is reminding the public that this isn’t over yet and that British Columbians must continue to self distance and self isolate if they have symptoms.
