Coronavirus: Man facing deportation to China from Canada cites ‘raging epidemic’ as reason to stay

The advice is clear. Canada is urging its residents to avoid “non-essential” travel to China because of the still-spreading new coronavirus. The U.S. government has recommended against any kind of visit to the country until the disease is contained.

Cao’s lawyer, Milan Tomasevic, said he was disappointed by the ruling from Justice Robert Barnes, especially when countries like the U.S. are advocating against any sort of travel to China. His father arrived in this country first and made a refugee claim based on fears of persecution in China because of his Christian faith. The father’s request was accepted and he later sponsored his wife and daughter to join him and became a citizen. But Cao, eager to join his family, was too old to be sponsored.

“I am scared and concerned for my life and cannot understand why CBSA insist on sending me to China at this time and straight into an epidemic of a deadly virus which still rages,” he said.
