COVID-19 Updates & Recommendations
The CBVA has been monitoring industry and government recommendations of the evolving impact of COVID-19. With tourism being a vital aspect of our world economy, we feel that it is important to bring you informed information.
There are step-by-step guides to prepare your businesses and staff for emergencies, with templates and tools to help operators easily plan a fast and effective response that is available on the TIABC website, Destination BC website, and at PreparedBC.
Multiple health and tourism/hospitality organizations have developed resources and official sources of information on COVID-19:
To protect people in BC against the COVID-19 and mitigate the impact of this illness on communities, the Province and the BC’s chief medical health officer have developed the British Columbia Pandemic Provincial Co-ordination Plan to respond to the evolving outbreak. Phase 1 of the plan is underway, addressing identification and containment. As new COVID-19 materials are produced, they will be published at: www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/about-bc-s-health-care-system/office-of-the-provincial-health-officer/current-health-topics/pandemic-influenza
