VICTORIA — The provincial government is restricting non-resident travel to Haida Gwaii in response to the COVID-19 outbreak there.
There are currently 20 cases associated with the outbreak on Haida Gwaii.
According to Northern Health, all cases are believed to be related to residents who have travelled off-island, or who had contact with a resident who has travelled off-island.
“The Province, Northern Health and the First Nations Health Authority are working closely with the Haida Nation and local governments on Haida Gwaii to respond to this COVID-19 outbreak,” Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth said. “Our foremost concern is the health and safety of all residents of Haida Gwaii, and we’re working together to limit further spread of COVID-19.”
