BC Ferries says a woman refusing to wear a face mask while on board a ferry set to depart the Tsawwassen terminal Wednesday morning had to be removed from the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A customer with a history of disruptive behaviour was causing a disturbance on board,” said BC Ferries spokesperson Astrid Chang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delta police confirm they were called to the terminal at 11 a.m. and escorted the woman to another location in Delta without issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident caused the ferry to be delayed by about one hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delta police and BC Ferries did not release any other details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, BC Ferries has introduced a policy that all passengers must wear non-medical masks or face coverings when at terminals and on board ferries except:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- When inside a vehicle.<\/li>
- When consuming food or drinks, provided physical distancing is maintained.<\/li>
- Children under two years of age.<\/li>
- When a medical condition or disability inhibits the ability to wear a mask.<\/li>
- Persons unable to place or remove a mask without assistance.<\/li>
- BC Ferries employees working behind a physical barrier or within employee-only areas, provided physical distancing is maintained.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
