BC COVID-19 Survey
As BC prepares to carefully re-start services and the economy and support us to get back to our lives, it needs your input to help develop appropriate action plans. Public health and government leaders have made significant decisions impacting every aspect of our lives and so your input is important as BC develops its action plans.
The BC COVID-19 Survey on Population Experience, Action and Knowledge enables you to tell your experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a population health survey to elicit citizen experience, knowledge and actions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The survey is open until May 31, 2020.
