The CEO of a Canadian casino company resigned from his job after he and his wife were accused of posing as motel employees to get doses of the Covid-19 vaccine intended for residents of a remote community.
The couple, identified as Rodney and Ekaterina Baker of Vancouver, arrived in the city of Whitehorse on Jan. 19 and were supposed to quarantine for 14 days.
Instead, they chartered a private plane to Beaver Creek, a small community of fewer than 125 people in Canada's Yukon, on Thursday where a mobile vaccination clinic was administering the first dose of the Moderna shot to locals, according to the CBC television network in Canada.
