Dix raised concerns about people arriving at airports from overseas and not going straight into isolation. He said there needed to be a stronger presence at arrivals to make it clear there were to be no exceptions to the rule. “So when people arrive at the Vancouver International Airport, they will be required to have a self-isolation plan,” said the premier.

“They will be met by B.C. officials, they will be met by federal officials, and they will be required to explain in detail, with forms that will be provided on flights — forms that are also available on the Web — to ensure that these legal documents are completed upon arrival, and that a plan has been put in place,” said the premier.
