Curling teams are coming from South Korea, China, and Italy, all countries that sadly are suffering fast advancing outbreaks of coronavirus.
Given the widespread advice by top government health officials the world over, including Canada, that coronavirus is spreading at an alarming rate and that preventive steps need to be taken, including limiting travel, I query the need for a public discussion, locally, of what risks holding the World Women's Curling Championship would bring, and whether the residents of Prince George wish to be subjected to those risks.
The city should immediately convene a public meeting to talk about this.
