Vancouver General Hospital’s front line workers are urging the general public to heed experts’ advice and stay home.
On Thursday, Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) posted a series of photos to Twitter, showing nine members of the hospital’s Emergency Department team holding a sheet of paper that reads, “I stayed at work for you. You stay at home for us.”
Help us stop the spread of #COVID19 by staying home and social distancing.
