Write Up:
Great group of hardy winter hikers on a beautiful day. One person had a family member that had tested positive for Covid. She and another family member tested negative. She offered to leave the group to hike Prairie Mt. on her own. I suggested that if she keep physically distanced she could hike with us. She offered to tail end physically distanced. I asked the group 3 times if anybody objected. No one objected. She stayed about 20 meters behind our group all day. I thought that was far enough and there was no need to be 2 mountain ranges away. I asked everyone else to stay 2 meters apart. She checked with Health Ling (811 and got the following advice: 1) I do not have to do PCR test - because I am double vaccinated, tested negative using the rapid test and I have no symptoms. 2) I can go to work tomorrow 3) I have no restrictions other than the usual restrictions for everyone else. 4) obviously, I do not have to isolate. I am glad we could accommodate her.
