Hey everyone:

Here’s a great article from The Atlantic on the concept of Social Distancing and what it is, etc. Please check it out for some information on what you can do to minimize the risk of getting the Coronavirus (or others).

For a really geeky article on why Social Distancing works and how a pandemic spreads so quickly, check out this article from the Washington Post.

And finally, for some safe and not so safe activities as far as Social Distancing is concerned, check out this poster:

Stay well!

Hey everyone, passing along new Coronavirus (COVID-19) information about events and travel.

The provincial government has banned any gatherings larger than 250 people for the time being.

In addition, the provincial government says travel outside of Canada is “very risky” right now. They have said this includes travel to the United States. They are “strongly advising” against any non-essential travel outside of Canada.

Though the borders are staying open for now, the provincial government suggests that anyone who chooses to travel outside of Canada be required to stay home from work and school for 14 days when they get back to BC. This ‘isolation’ would be ‘voluntary’.
