"At this time, we are advising customers to avoid any non-essential travel.
Crews have been taking, and will continue to take, extra measures to ensure the safe transport of critical goods and supplies to coastal BC communities.
These extra measures include cleaning and disinfecting all touch points. Touch point cleaning focusses on common areas and locations that are touched frequently by people throughout the day. They include hard surfaces such as tables, handrails, payment pin pads, door handles, and elevator buttons. We have also stepped up our cleaning protocols in all washroom facilities. In addition to these efforts, customers can now remain in their vehicle on any deck, access open air decks and spread themselves out on board to support physical distancing."
