Liberals and Greens pushing for more data, changes to BC’s COVID-19 strategies

The BC Green Party put of a similar call earlier on Thursday calling on the NDP to release more data in a more timely and transparent manner.

Bond did not speculate on whether BC should have a lockdown as suggested by Sonia Furstenau, Leader of the BC Green Party.

BC Liberals are calling for:

Detailed daily reporting of all active cases, including variant strains detected in schools that include a breakdown of staff and students affected;
The most recent data available on PCR screening for variant cases — including by age, location, and date of screening; and
Provincial capacity for genome sequencing and any delays associated with this step.
Exposure settings data — location types and the rate that transmission is occurring

The BC Green Party is calling for:

Three-week lockdown period
Enforcing non-essential travel measures.
Moving school online for most students.
Providing immediate government support to temporarily close non-essential businesses
Increase transparency and revamp public communications
Increase testing and vaccination capacity
