'I think the approach that we took was the right one, but obviously we learned lessons from that and we welcome the feedback and report,' said Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth.
A review of British Columbia's COVID-19 response released Friday says despite being unprepared for the pandemic, the province showed "resilience, balance and nimbleness" during the emergency.
At a news conference, Farnworth said the government tried to be as open as possible during the pandemic and based its decisions on the best public health advice available. The report says there is concern "that eroding trust may translate into more resistance to restrictions necessitated by the next provincewide emergency."
The review highlights a lack of provincewide health-care data collection infrastructure, which it calls "a long-standing issue for health-care system management and public health."
