TORONTO -- It’s asparagus harvest season, but some of the fields in Norfolk County, Ontario, are all but empty following an outbreak of COVID-19 that has spread to 164 migrant workers from Mexico, temporarily halting production.
The workers arrived from Mexico to Biddle’s farm back in early April - already delayed due to the pandemic and travel restrictions - and underwent a 14-day quarantine before starting work. Everyone came out of the quarantine healthy and nobody showed any symptoms prior to Thursday, according to Biddle.
“The guys have had extremely limited contact with the community,” said Kristal Chopp, the mayor of Norfolk County.
PUT CANADIANS TO WORK
All migrant workers were to mandatorily isolate for two weeks. This mean they contracted it here afterwards. It's not because they are 'migrant', it's because of the close work environment.
So why again was I not working on the farm rather the flying covid directly into Canada I wasn’t asked to work in farms
When is the media going to address the hypocrisy of massive fines and outrage for breaking emergency measure laws, but complete silence as thousands protest in support of BlackLivesMatter and showing complete disregard for the current pandemic.

Several cadets brought back for graduation at West Point test positive for COVID-19About 15 cadets from the U.S. Military Academy Class of 2020 who were brought back for graduation where President Donald Trump is scheduled to give the commencement address have tested positive for coronavirus, according to a U.S. Army spokesperson. It’ll be a great speech as usual. I’m glad they are on top of things and screened the 1000 cadets, and isolated those found to be infected from their time at home. At least they aren't out stealing stuff like many other fine upstanding students. Fake News..
