I'm here to give an update around some of the issues that we're dealing with here with the new Corona virus that here in BC And as you all know, this is a planned media briefing that we're going to do every Tuesday and unintentionally.

One of the first things I need to update you on is that we have identified a second case of someone who has tested positive for Corona virus here in British Columbia.

This is ah, woman in her fifties who lives in the Vancouver coastal Health Region.

She was became ill a few days ago and was assessed in hospital.

And the testing came back positive once again late last night.

So Vancouver Coastal is working diligently today to get all of the details starting last night and today, all of the details around this person.

She has been in contact with family visitors from, uh from Wuhan and Hoop a province on.

So we and she has a very small number of close contacts that are also being followed up with an cover coastal today.

So that is the me enough heat that we have.

We did expect with all of the work that we're doing with public health to monitor and assess people and the low threshold that we have in the province to make sure that we test anybody, that we have any concerns the vote it It shows us that our system is working and that we have lots of measures in in place to protect people into to detect anybody early.

The second thing I want to talk about is just how important it is.

Right now, we're watching globally what's happening around the world with with this virus and certainly in China and I'm no, you're aware the numbers of cases still continue to increase.

We from working very closely with their counterparts across the country and globally to make sure that we're doing everything we can to try and reduce the risk of transmission and particularly the risk of transmission here in Canada and in BC.

So we call on everybody to continue to take those measures.

We are still, as I've mentioned before, we're still in influenza season here.

We're seeing a lot of people will, particularly young Children, because we're seeing an influenza B season which often affects young people.

So there are many reasons why we all need to be extra vigilant, particularly in these next few weeks when we're going to get a better sense of whether we're able to contain this virus.

So those things, of course, are the important things of washing your hands regularly covering your mouth when you cough.

Um, not touching your face and eyes and mouth.

And if you are sick yourself to stay home and we want to everybody to be aware of that and to be extra sensitive right now, that in particular if you have are somebody who has been in Hu Bei province within the last two weeks, it's really important right now that that you take these measures to keep away from others and consider staying home keeping your Children home.

If you are still within that incubation period and monitoring very carefully for symptoms and connecting with us in public health, if you have any concerns at all about symptoms, we need to be extra sensitive a vote our Children in particular cause they may not recognize if they have early onset of symptoms and young, healthy people were no with this Corona virus.

Young, healthy people may have very mild symptoms but can still pass it on to other people.

So right now we want everybody to be especially careful about that toe.

Monitor themselves to monitor your Children and call us immediately if you have any concerns about infection, particularly people who have traveled the other thing.

I wanted to update us on today, which was supposed to be the focus of our talk today from the work that we're doing in partnership with our colleagues at the Public Health Agency and the government of Canada around repatriation of Canadians who are coming back to to Canada from Wuhan.

We know that they are going to be in quarantine in Trenton.

We also know that the plane will be refueling at Y V R.

Hopefully on the weather will allow that, um and we're making preparations to make sure that we can support.

If anybody needs has medical issues that they need to be evacuated from the plane while they're here, we have plans in place to be able to support that as well.

We also know that a good proportion or some proportion of the people on the plane will eventually come back to DC after their period of quarantine in Trenton.

So we're working with our federal counterparts to make sure that we can support those people as well.

Um, both when they're in Trenton and when they come back here to British Columbia, the these air, the important things I wanted to update us on today, and I'm certainly willing to take questions going around.

Please wait for the night before you speak and identify yourself with your name and outlets name please either, Uh, Brennan.

So, um, just at the beginning you mentioned Can you just reiterate who the second person has been in contact with?

What are your communications with that person?

So this is a person, a resident of Vancouver, Coastal Health Authority.

And they had a She and her family had family visitors for Mahan who are still here and living in the host.

So Vancouver Coastal Health is in contact with all of them and getting all of the details.

The work that we do in public health making sure we in contact with everybody that they've been in contact with in close contact with in the last few days, so that work is ongoing.

And how are you determining You know that this is the second case?

So for the first case, how are you determining?

You know how this person and these folks can be kind of re integrated once they're no longer ill?

So there's a couple of things around that.

It's a question that we've been watching internationally.

How do we know when people are no longer infectious to others and right now, the criteria that we're using his resolution of symptoms?

No more cough, though Sometimes you can have a little bit of a cough that may go on for some days, and right now we're asking people tohave to nasal fair NGO swabs 24 hours apart that are negative for the virus.

And that's a way that we can tell that they're no longer shedding the virus in the respiratory secretions.

So that's the protocol we're following right now.

And that's what's been recommended that the W H.

We're finished with the questions on the floor first and afterwards we will go to people on the phone and when you're on the phone, please queue up by pressing star one.

Apparently this suppers and visitors from want.

So there any consideration, maybe restricting people traveling from, especially the epic center.

Public house, Agency Canada and the school choir.

Second question is, uh, there is the person who is visiting from Juan.

He more herself developed any symptom And is he under, uh, testing or has he being tested?

We've been talking about this with the public health agency and with the government of Canada over the last few days or weeks.

We have, as you know, a special advisory committee nationally that includes myself and colleagues from across the country.

So we've been looking at what's happening in China and what measures we need to take.

The government of Canada is responsible for travel advisories outside the country, and we're not restricting travel.

Although, as you're likely aware, there is quite extreme restrictions on travel from from many cities within who Bay Province and we understand there's still a very small number of people from outside of those travel restrictions and that come into Canada from who buy in the range of a few dozen people a day.

Most of them do not come to BC, but some of them will.

So those small number of people we do want to be especially careful because we know that that's where the epicenter of this outbreak is happening.

And so we encourage those people who have been in who buy for the last little while to make sure they're monitoring yourself very carefully for any symptoms and consider staying away from others for the period of that incubation period of 14 days.

If they have any symptoms at all, or if you have any concerns about your child having symptoms, please call us.

So call 811 You can call your local public health unit or you can call your local health care provider in terms of the visitors are still here, and Vancouver Coastal Health is following up with the entire family and host.

Hold right now else develop any symptoms or we don't have all the details yet, so those details will become apparent in the next little while.

You mentioned being prepared when people come back to China, from China to Ontario.

So what is the plan if anyone falls ill on the flight as they're filling up for the repatriation of flight?

So there's a couple of things they will have a Canadian forces medical personnel on board the flight.

And they have extensive plans for isolating people on the flight so that we're not in contact with each other.

So you're not intentionally exposing somebody.

If somebody does become ill, Um, and they do have the ability to have a separate isolation area on the plane should somebody on develop symptoms whilst their in flight.

Um, if they touch down here and they need urgent medical care.

So the only people that would be medevacked off the flight here in in in BC would be somebody who needs urgent medical care, either for Corona virus or, more likely for some other medical condition that they needed assistance with.

So we have plans for how to manage that, but there will be a quarantine area here.

If that was the case, we would be putting them in through our health system with BC Emergency Health Service's and the Richmond Hospital.

And we have all of the protocols in place to ensure that that's done in a way that protects people from this from this Corona virus and other infections as well.

So the World Health Organization today declared this pandemic so by definition, what is that?

But then also, what does that actually mean to us?

Eso a pandemic is an epidemic or an outbreak that has spread around the world and where you have transmission in more than one area around the world.

The moment when we're most familiar with is an influenza pandemic where a new strain of influenza can arise, as did in 2009 and can spread rapidly in some cases around the world.

In this case, it technically would meet the definition because we've seen now upwards of 30 countries where there has been transmission and where there has been mostly limited transmitted person to person transmission in some other countries as well.

This one still is very much focused on China and the efforts that are being put in place to restrict and try and prevent transmission in China are really more extensive than we've seen ever least in modern history here in BC.
