BC is doing very well compared to our neighbours to east and south.
We had relatives from Edmonton ask if they could come in August and stay with us. When I went on the Government of Alberta website, I found they are still in Stage 2 and non-essential travel is not recommended. Now they weren't planning on coming until August, but Alberta has many more daily cases as we have. They emailed and they've decided not to visit. I am very relieved as I don't want people staying with us at this time.
I see many Alberta license plates when we drive around Surrey. Apparently in the Okanagan and Kootenays there are many out of province visitors. I know the BC Government cancelled all the out of province reservations at BC campsites. It was an excellent move so BC families could obtain a campsite and stay close to home. I hope people start taking this seriously!
Tomorrow I'm going to the Chiropractor for the first time. I've filled out his medical questionnaire and will text when I am in the parking lot. Of course I will wear a mask.
Next week I'm off to my dentist. I haven't been given the rules yet, but I'm sure it will be very safe.
