Currently, if someone returns to Canada on an international flight not only do they have to go out and get a specific COVID-19 test three days before their return, but they are welcomed back to the country with a three-day stay in a quarantined hotel. They are required to pay for this hotel stay before they can return to their homes which in many cases may have only been a few kilometres away from the hotel.
After hearing that, one assumes that the government’s management of public health and safety in this COVID-19 crisis is one guided by the utmost caution, perhaps one may say, the response could be viewed as overly cautious. More to the point, surely these strict lockdowns must be nothing compared to the measures taken to protect our seniors in care homes. That is where you would be wrong.
