Questions now. Why are travel restrictions not an order, Dr. Henry says she doesn't believe there needs to be an order. Says it would be too hard to enforce. "When we had these requirements earlier this year people took them to heart." #bcpoli #COVID19BC
On metrics to determine if measures are successful, Dr. Henry says a lot of things will be watched including rolling average for cases. "We are watching our ability to find people quickly and that has been challenged." #bcpoli #COVID19BC
Dr, Henry says they are watching very closely to see if they can link cases. When they can't link cases, that is a high concern for public health. #bcpoli #COVID19BC
