COVID\u002D19: U.S. vessels in BC waters against border rules, say boaters
Much of the vessel traffic is coming from Washington state, particularly concerning because the state has a high rate of virus infection, said Creek.
“All you need is one vessel going into Lund, or Powell River, or up the coast, and getting ashore, and if they’re infected unknowingly, they can spread it in an instant,” said Creek. A Canada-U.S. agreement to keep the border closed to non-essential travel has been extended a fourth time since March, until Aug. 20.
Creek said the B.C. boaters have been turning their information on American vessels in Canadian waters over to the border service agency.
