This is a COVID-19 update for the Greater Campbell River area<\/a> on March 11, 2021.<\/p>\n

Local stats for the week ending March 6<\/h2>\n

While the numbers are now falling in North Vancouver Island, yesterday the\u00a0BC Centre for Disease Control<\/a>\u00a0released statistics for what was hopefully the peak in the Greater Campbell River Health Area.<\/p>\n

There were 21 active cases in the Greater Campbell River during the week ending on Saturday March 6.<\/p>\n

At that point there were 62 active cases in North Vancouver Island, yesterday Island Health reported that the number has dropped to 44.<\/p>\n

The Discovery Islands<\/h2>\n

Though\u00a0Cortes<\/a>,\u00a0Quadra<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Read Island<\/a>s are all on the\u00a0list of islands where vaccinations will be carried out for the entire adult population<\/a>, no further details have been released.<\/p>\n

While there are no known active cases on any of these islands, Island Health does not release this kind of regional data.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 Violations<\/h2>\n

Campbell River City Council discussed 113 reports of COVID-19 violations at their March 9 board meeting.<\/p>\n

One of the reports pertained to a business belonging to\u00a0City Coun. Kermit Dahl<\/a>, who explained that someone saw his staff not wearing masks. The person reporting this was not aware that the staff were members of the same family, or that they were actually adhering to COVID-19 regulations, according to the councillor. Dahl\u2019s business was given a warning that suggested that they were \"working in a fishbowl\" and that everyone has the right to complain.<\/p>\n

Coun. Charlie Cornfield<\/a>\u00a0mentioned an incident where someone not wearing a mask entered a Campbell River business. The person was approached, but refused to wear a mask and left.<\/p>\n

Three active cases reported on social media<\/h2>\n

Two Campbell River businesses, and North Island College, released details of COVID-19 cases through social media.<\/p>\n

Steve Marshall Motors<\/a> reopened on March 8, and their Facebook page mentions selling an SUV and a\u00a0 truck. The store closed down on March 4 after a staff member tested positive. This person is presumably still in isolation.<\/p>\n

The Ideal Cafe<\/a> reopens today, after being closed for six days. One of the servers tested positive on March 1. She tested negative on March 4, but will remain in self isolation until March 12.<\/p>\n

There were also two exposures at North Island College<\/a> from March 2-3. Only a small group of students came into contact with the infected person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
