NOT THE CURLING!!!

KEK!

 

VANCOUVER—British Columbia’s provincial health officer says the women’s curling world championship in Prince George will go ahead as planned starting Saturday.

 

Dr. Bonnie Henry says the province and the Northern Health authority have been working with the event’s organizers to limit the risk of coronavirus transmission.

 

“I know Northern Health has been working very closely with the organizers and they feel that the risk ratio, the risk profile right now, allows it to continue to happen,” she said.

 

“I have confidence in the work that they’re doing and the measures that they’re going to be putting in place to protect people there.”

 

However, she added that the province and the organizers have a very low threshold for people staying away and are urging anyone who feels sick at all to not attend.

 

Health Minister Adrian Dix reminded fans that the event will be televised, so people who are unable to attend due to illness can still enjoy it from home.

 

“Every single event in the community, whether it’s a church service or going to school or going to work, if you’re sick, stay home,” he said.

 

Rinks from Japan, South Korea, China and Italy — all countries grappling with outbreaks of COVID-19 — will participate in the annual tournament at the 6,000-seat CN Centre.
