Designate the Island as a bubble region

Many countries, regions and including the B.C. government talk of creating “a bubble” to protect ourselves and others from COVID-19 spreading. Vancouver Island has been many weeks with no new cases, basically, it’s been eradicated on Vancouver Island.

Many countries, regions and including the B.C. government talk of creating “a bubble” to protect ourselves and others from COVID-19 spreading. Vancouver Island has been many weeks with no new cases, basically, it’s been eradicated on Vancouver Island.

So why not create a bubble here, as the natural barrier of being an island makes this possible?

Anyone coming here by ferry must arrive early to be tested, possibly a nominal fee charged for testing unless you have a commercial plate and are here on business then fees would be waived. With similar rules around flights.

This would give us the autonomy to move ahead as a “bubble region.”
