British Columbia

COVID-19

Public Health Measures

Physicians who complied with workplace guidance to adapt to COVID-19 measures were offered $1,000.00 paid directly to them (not through their establishment).1)

A Vancouver Sun poll on March 2, 2022 revealed that approximately 79% of British Columbia residents believe the province should have already removed mask mandates and vaccine passports along with the rest of Canada.2) Roughly 11% of respondents supported maintaining measures “for a while yet”.3)

Vaccination Campaign

Passports

BC began requiring a COVID-19 “proof of vaccination” card in late 2021, which quickly became a digital “proof of vaccination” ID via a QR Code. The Province made several posters and promotional materials available for businesses enforcing the vaccine passport.4) 5)
