You can access the survey at this link: www.bccdc.ca/covid19survey

While we have worked hard to flatten our curve, as we increase our social interactions and spend more time with others, we may see an increase in new cases. This is because the illness often can be mild or asymptomatic in the early stages, which means people may not realize they are sick. The faster we can identify and trace new cases, the better we will all be – especially as we ease restrictions. We can help our public health teams and support each other by keeping our household bubbles small.

Be safe. Be well.
