He will be joined by Bowinn Ma, BC NDP MLA for North Vancouver-Lonsdale, as well Vancouver Coastal Health’s CEO, Mary Ackenhusen and Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Patricia Daly, who will be available to answer questions about the coronavirus.
The event will be live-streamed on the province’s YouTube and Facebook pages from 7:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. Questions may be submitted ahead of time on the government’s website.
