Dix is now circling back unbidden to comment about doing more. Says there are many people who are doing more. This has nothing to do with double masking. #bcpoli
Dr. Victoria Lee says they are reviewing evidence at a provincial level around double masking. Focuses back to following the existing guidelines. Says there has been some negative impacts on double masking in health care sector. #bcpoli
On Feds announcing travel measures, Dix says Horgan has sent a release supporting the measures. #bcpoli
Dix says 'this is the right decision at this time' and BC has been pushing for a while for stricter support around quarantine. #bcpoli
On surcharges for non-essential travelers, Dix pivots to talk about foreign temporary workers and stopping transmission. "We continue to do it." Broadly says the province is considering everything but does not speak to surcharges for travel within BC. #bcpoli
