BC Ferries workers at Langdale terminal test positive for COVID-19

A number of employees working out of BC Ferries’ Langdale terminal are in self-isolation following potential exposure to COVID-19. They are taking this precaution following direct contact with two co-workers who tested positive for the disease at the end of October.
“For privacy reasons, I am unable to share the number of employees in self-isolation. We take this seriously and are committed to a safe and healthy workplace and will continue to work closely with Public Health on this situation. We wish our fellow employees a speedy recovery and request privacy and respect for these persons at this time,” said BC Ferries Communications Manager Astrid Chang.
Chang said that the two employees that received the positive test results do not work in areas where they are in contact with ferry passengers. They have completed contact tracing through Vancouver Coastal Health, and no contacts involving risk or re-transmission to the public were revealed. Chang stated that “BC Ferries is following all public health advice related to the incident.”
