It鈥檚 official.
Premier John Horgan has declared the Tooth Fairy an essential service, saying the nocturnal visitor is allowed to travel freely around the province. That means no COVID-19 restrictions to stop it from going from house to house.
The news was released Friday in a Facebook post, in what Horgan called a 鈥淔airy Special Announcement.鈥�
鈥淎s premier of British Columbia I am pleased to welcome our legendary friend, who provides the essential service of rewarding health habits and good brushing,鈥� Horgan wrote in his proclamation. 鈥淲hile we are physically distancing, we are all in this together and I thank all ages and creatures for doing their part.鈥�
In the fine print, he said his permission applies only to 鈥渞egistered fairies.鈥�
鈥淣o substi-tooth-ions or fillings-in allowed.鈥�
Horgan inspired a flurry of responses, including one from a woman who was wondering if she could expect a visit.
鈥淚鈥檓 73 but I will be losing a tooth soon,鈥� she said. 鈥淚鈥檇 be happy with a card for a free doughnut from Tim鈥檚.鈥�
