“We can assure you that the employee is in isolation at home and following direction from local health officials,” Ashley Lemire of the CBSA said in a statement to CP24.Lemire said the location and time of infection are unknown at this time. She said the agency is proactively notifying all employees who have had contact with the individual.
“Employees who may have been in contact with the infected individual have been asked to self-monitor for symptoms and to contact public health for direction. These employees may also be instructed by public health to self-isolate and remain at home for the recommended period.”She said the agency is working in close cooperation with federal health agencies, its employees and the union to ensure appropriate measures are in place.
The union representing customs and immigration officers had said they had called on the government repeatedly to improve measures to ensure proper screening. "While our working relationship with CBSA regarding the current pandemic remains fair, we are disappointed in the lack of overall information and guidance provided by other parts of the federal government," the Customs and Immigration Union said in a statement on Friday. "At this time, all members should follow established safety protocols."
Ontario reported 42 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday, bringing the provincial total to 145 with five recoveries. In Canada, more than 300 cases have been confirmed.
Wishing you speedy recovery
The whole world is getting eaten up bit by bat.
Hey it's not a proactive measure to contact people who were in contact with someone infected. That's retroactively notifying people, because it's after the fact. Stopping flights would be a 'proactive' measure. Stop this stupid BS and stop this dumb propaganda.
Sending prayers their way

Surprise anyone?!?
vaughanweather Inevitable but this is definitely bad news bears. How many people did he infect? They were working in a VERY high traffic area.
How many passports did this person handle? It’s clearly a desk or a position that touch? It’s time for JustinTrudeau to close borders and restrict non essential flights! Cargo only!
Test them all and I’m willing to bet the number will grow 100 fold!
We are nearly the last time to stop 19Virus outbreaking in Canada, close the border and stay at home with your families, we cannot treat the life as wagers!
Prayers for all affected but this is EXACTLY how 1000’s get exposed and how this thing spreads. This is why whole countries are shut and will probably be the cause of Canada going down.
Extremely poor job of screening people....or not at all. This is not surprising
Shit, the amount of passport he has touched.
If he dies JustinTrudeau has blood on his hands because he could have closed the airports but he’s in hiding like the coward he is um ah oh un hmm ah un ahhhh I have it under control
Oh my.... stop the travelling!! Does Canada want to be the next Italy Is our Government not paying attention what is happening in this World!!!
Great job Jussie.
Prayers for a quick recovery ❤️🙏
When will our leader JustinTrudeau and the liberal_party of Canada stop all international travel, and close our borders? It’s not xenophobic? cdnpoli
Howhow?how?smh,idiots
People who run all aspects of this country are stupid. Pissed they have done nothing to protect us! US has 1000 plus cases. The boarder is open!!! Taking temperature doesn't do shit
Bless the front line workers
But were told they are screening everyone coming in from other countries TrudeauMustGo
Ground all flights and close the borders, except for urgent travel and goods!
What? Like...what?
I hope they recover. They really should shut down the border until further notice.
Lol that employee can thank the government for risking his life for tourism profit
Surprise! But what is a surprise is that the government doesn't have temperature scanners, screenings, mandatory quarantines for people coming in from certain parts of the world. In fact, why are flights still coming in from Europe - they should probably be limited ...
So it begins
Not good. I'm sure it is not easy to be in the front lines as they are and we are grateful for them.
Only a matter of time with the number of suspected travelers flooding into Canada.
Oh yeaahhh.. it’s happening... this is no damn surprise !
Oh great.
Close. It. Down.
And how do you suppose that happened?
