B.C. health officials have clearly stated that they want British Columbians to stay home during the Easter long weekend to combat the novel coronavirus crisis, but there are concerns that some people aren’t getting the message. “Don’t travel this weekend,” Health minister Adrian Dix said. “If you are going to Sechelt or going to Gibsons every Easter for 15 years, take this year off.
If you’re going to go to your second home, don’t go this weekend. “This is the weekend to stay close to home.” Despite the warning, ferries and roadways appeared busier than normal on Thursday with boats, trailers and motor homes on the move ahead of the long weekend.
