Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says others in close contact are also in isolation being monitored.

In response to fears over COVID-19, many of metro Vancouver’s Chinese restaurants have had to temporarily shut down. Charlie Huang is the President of the Canada Catering Association – a non-profit group supporting the owners of Chinese restaurants – and he says that fears over the outbreak have negatively impacted business.
