Vancouver Coastal Health is asking patrons of three Whistler restaurants to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms after possible exposures to the virus were reported to have happened during the week that began with Halloween celebrations. The dates for possible exposure at Earls are between Oct. 31 and Nov. 6, according to the health authority. Potential exposure at The Longhorn and Buffalo Bill's is limited to Oct. 31. The Vancouver Coastal Health website says COVID-19 is spread by respiratory droplets when a person who is sick coughs or sneezes. The illness can also be spread when a healthy person touches an object or surface with the virus on it, and then touches their mouth, nose or eyes before washing their hands.
