All travelers returning to BC now legally required to submit a self-isolation plan

All international travelers entering BC will now be legally required to submit a written 14-day self-isolation plan.

A document outlining how each traveler plans to have the necessary support needed to complete the 14-day isolation period will have to be handed over to authorities upon arrival.

Effective immediately, everyone arriving in BC from abroad will be required to have a 14-day self-isolation plan. Officials will review your plan to make sure it is safe before you will be able to proceed home to self-isolate. https://t.co/VRnqtWfXrM #COVIDBC #DoYourPartBC + pic.twitter.com/PLTrzRlawd

If a person does not have the necessary support needed for a self-isolation plan, a quarantine site will be provided to them for 14-days.

Travellers with symptoms will be directed to a quarantine site in the Vancouver International Airport, which is not the only airport accepting international travelers.

However, Horgan did not provide any details on quarantine sites.

Beginning on Friday, provincial officials will be on hand at the YVR and major land border crossings to make sure self-isolation plans are complete.
