BC COVID-19 SPEAK - YOUR STORY - OUR FUTURE

Your story, our future

BC COVID-19 SPEAK: Your story, our future is a population health survey to elicit citizen experience, knowledge and actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. This survey is the first of several activities that will strengthen our pandemic response and our understanding of the impacts of COVID-19 to date (social, economic, mental wellness and community wellness). 


At the end of the survey, you will be asked about participating in two important initiatives:

  • A serology survey (blood testing) to help determine immunity across the population

  • Planning for future waves in which identifying, containing and tracing are substantially strengthened through technology tools to enable integrated and coordinated information sharing

Please use the latest web browsers for optimal experience. The survey will be open until May 31.

If you do not have a computer available, you can take the survey by phone at 1-833-707-1900.

Although we are low risk on Vancouver Island and back to low risk on North Vancouver Island and Cormorant Island. We still need to remain vigilant and take all precautionary steps to being safe. Please, if you do not need to travel stay home, but...

If you must travel, please ensure you have three items in your vehicle:

Hand Sanitizer

  1. Disinfectant Wipes (if possible)

  2. Facial Mask(s)

    Word is, that some stores will not let you in unless you wear a facial mask. Limit your exposure as much as possible and remember to Hand Wash and practice physical distancing.

     

    UPON RETURNING HOME:

  1. Stay in your vehicle when on the ferry.

  2. Do not make any unnecessary stops when you get off the ferry - go directly home.

  3. Ensure to clean and disinfect everything.

    *Hand wash, hand wash and physical distancing is key to prevent the virus from spreading. Monitor and Self Assess your health - if you start to feel unwell - keep the RDMW Health Line number handy (250) 902-6091 to make an appointment for testing.

    This kit is helpful to have on hand and is readily accessible to you, especially when you or loved ones start to feel unwell and the stores are closed.
