The World Health Organization has just declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic as Victoria prepares for hundreds of cruise ships to start arriving next month. The first ship of the busy season will be the Grand Princess, the breeding ground for more than 20 COVID-19 cases so far. Victoria is home to one of the nation’s most elderly populations — those most at risk of infection and death. To protect British Columbians from further exposure, petition starter Ryan is calling for the cruise ship dockings in Victoria to be cancelled immediately. If you believe the risk is too high, sign now.
