Canadians returning from Africa in quarantine hotels say conditions are wretched

Travellers returning from Africa say Canadian quarantine hotels have no laundry service, so they sit in dirty clothes eating bad food as they wait to hear when they can leave, even after getting the negative COVID-19 test result that is supposed to set them free.

“These measures feel draconian, and I think that it’s really surprising that the Liberal government would react so poorly,” Ms. Havlik, 55, told The Globe and Mail. “People were starting to get really belligerent. Some people were throwing their food out the window.”In response to questions from The Globe, PHAC laid out the quarantine process in a statement, but did not address the travellers’ concerns. Mark Johnson, a spokesperson, said every person staying at a quarantine hotel has access to 24-hour support and medical monitoring.

Mr. Kennedy said the Red Cross brought milk for the baby. But he also requested diapers, and they were out of his son’s size. “There are cases all over Europe, and the only two people who got pulled out of that arrival from Istanbul was me and another guy from Nigeria. Honestly, the racism aspect of it is huge.”

Frankly, I have little/no sympathy for anyone finding grief due to their personal decision to travel internationally, during this covid19 pandemic. CaveatEmptor

It's disappointing that comment sections like this still exist this far into the pandemic. Travel was eased people. Individuals are allowed to travel. Many have Binational families. It isn't about waiting anymore. It will soon have been years, plural. Travellers aren't selfish.

“ Mark Johnson, a spokesperson, said every person staying at a quarantine hotel has access to 24-hour support and medical monitoring.” Well that is a lie. 8am-8pm is not 24 hour support. I don’t want to call 911 to get milk for my baby

As it took me 6 hours to get a PCR test returned Negative in South Africa. I hear it takes 2 days at an airport in Canada and they still won’t let you leave. Why are we punishing South Africa for having proper testing systems and reporting standards when Canada is clearly worse?

Travelled during a pandemic. I do not understand why anybody should care.

So does that mean there's no silk sheets and only 4 towels, or that there's actually a problem?

And don’t u dare leave or RCMP members are sending Germans shepherds after you

I'm sure the blockade is going to help.

Of course they would otherwise they wouldn’t get in the news looking for sympathy 🙄

They just landed in Canada with no clean clothes? And you can't order some food?

Good, most Canadians are communists, enjoy!

Meanwhile covid is being flown in from around the world, what a mess
