The province has issued a survey called Your story, our future so the government can hear about British Columbians' experiences and actions in the COVID-19 pandemic so far. The survey can be accessed online or by calling 1 833 707-1900 toll-free seven days a week between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PDT. 

In their joint statement, Adrian Dix, Minister of Health, and Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.'s provincial health officer said,

“The information gathered will help inform the decisions we make in the weeks ahead. The survey is also an opportunity for you to express your interest in participating in two important future initiatives: serology blood testing to determine immunity in B.C., and using technology to co-ordinate information sharing for contact tracing.

“We have learned much about the COVID-19 virus, but there are still many questions and much more for us to understand."
