Canada’s requirement for air travellers to quarantine for up to three days at a hotel is an expensive, inconsistent policy that contains loopholes and should be ditched, says a new report from a government advisory panel.
Toronto Public Health (TPH) says they are investigating a possible COVID-19 outbreak at one of the federal government’s designated quarantine hotels.
The government has issued at least 15 tickets to travellers arriving in Canada with no quarantine bookings, and who refused to go to a quarantine hotel, the Public Health Agency of Canada tells CityNews.
A constitutional rights advocacy group is mounting a legal challenge to the federal government’s quarantine hotel policy, arguing it infringes on Canadians’ fundamental rights.
