The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control has issued a COVID-19 notification for a bus operating between Whistler and Vancouver airport.
An alert has issued for those who travelled in the Epic Rides Bus Line from Vancouver to Whistler on January 29.
Epic Rides is a non-stop bus service between Vancouver and Whistler.
Meanwhile, VCH continues to identify a higher than average number of individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 in this community.
From Jan. 26 to Feb. 2, VCH recorded 259 cases in Whistler.
This is a total of 547 cases in Whistler from Jan. 1 to Feb. 2. The majority of cases continue to be identified in young people in their 20s and 30s who live, work and socialize together.
To date, two of the cases have required brief hospitalization, and no deaths have occurred. Almost all of the recent cases are associated with transmission occurring within households and social settings.
According to contact tracing investigations, very little transmission has been linked to outdoor recreation areas such as Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.
VCH has earlier issued notifications for as many as six restaurants in Whistler.

I’ve been sharing on FB for days how many
of these buses are traveling north and south. I think the bus tour group should have their license suspended and fined heavily.
