Travel restrictions aimed at limiting the spread of COVID-19 will not include random stops: Mike Farnworth

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth says details are still being arranged, but travel restrictions aimed at limiting the spread of COVID-19 will not include random stops.

A statement from Farnworth's office says the restrictions are meant to discourage recreational travel and will include checks at ferry terminals and along major highways out of Metro Vancouver.

He says the rules are not meant as punishment and his ministry is also working to ensure racialized communities are not unfairly affected.

Travel regulations were announced for the province yesterday and will remain in effect until at least May 24th, but Farnworth says the plan is still being fine tuned and he'll have more to say later this week.
