Their are no school closures or outbreaks reported in North Vancouver Island.
The only mention of COVID on Quadra Island is now almost a month old and, as there have been no updates, could be irrelevant.
There are no known reports of active cases on Cortes Island.
The only incident to report comes from the Session Taproom & Kitchen in Campbell River. On Wednesday, April 7, they posted the following note to their website:
“One of our team members had a COVID exposure this past weekend and has since developed some symptoms. As a precaution, while we await test results, we have decided to close the taproom for today, Wednesday April 7th, and perform a deep clean of our space.”
Their staff member tested negative and a subsequent note posted on the restaurant’s website states: “We are thrilled to report that we have been given the green-light to resume our growler fill program with any of our rotating BC Craft Beer taps!”
