Rod Baker & Ekaterina Baker
Rod Bakers’s wife is an aspiring actress who recently had roles in the 2020 Christmas film Fatman and the 2020 comedy Chick Fight.
In a March 23, 2020 post to her public Instagram account at the start of the pandemic, Ekaterina recorded herself with a notepad explaining reasons why she was staying home in quarantine.
“During this unique and tender time I stay home for all the kids so they don’t have to say goodbye to their parents and grandparents too soon,” she wrote in the description of the social media post.
“I stay home to be part of the solution. Everyone, stay home. It’s the right thing to do,” she continued, adding that her father has diabetes and is vulnerable to the virus.
Baker and his wife flew to Yukon, got COVID-19 vaccines
Rod Baker and his wife been ticketed and charged under the Yukon’s Civil Emergency Measures Act for breaking isolation requirements in order to sneak into a vaccine clinic and receive Moderna vaccine doses in Beaver Creek.
They were ticketed and charged in Whitehorse on Jan. 21, 2021. The couple apparently traveled from Vancouver to Whitehorse, before chartering a private plane to Beaver Creek.
It’s alleged they then went to the vaccine clinic in Beaver Creek, where the mobile vaccine team was administering Moderna doses vaccines to the isolated community of around 100 people, including members of the White River First Nation (WRFN).
They then allegedly lied to officials at the clinic and represented themselves “in various ways” according to Community Services Minister John Streicker, whose portfolio includes CEMA. At the clinic they claimed to be workers at a local motel, he said.
Individuals living and working in the territory do not need Yukon ID to be vaccinated — the government had previously announced that health cards from other jurisdictions would be accepted if the individuals were residents of the territory.
The couple raised suspicions in Beaver Creek when they asked for a ride to the airport after getting their shots. “And people were like, ‘Well, why would you be going to the airport?’ ” Minister Streicker said.
“And so that’s when the CEMA enforcement unit got called and said, ‘Hey, who’s this couple that may be flying back? You should check to see whether they really are here in the territory.’ ”
Members of the mobile clinic team also called the motel, according to Streicker, and were told that the couple didn’t work there.
