How tightly closed are your borders?

"a lot of people" are exempt from Canada's border restrictions, including relatives of Canadian citizens, citizens being repatriated, foreign workers and foreign students. "We have not shut down the borders completely. We are letting people in for a variety of reasons, all of which are good reasons, but the concern that I have is: are [the rules] really being enforced in terms of quarantine," Gradek said.

In total, 123,694 passengers from the U.S. and 301,781 international travellers have arrived in Canada by plane since March 21.

My son's girlfriend is still down here with us even though she's allowed to return to Toronto. Just best to not risk it.

Toronto is still a hot spot and 2 weeks quarantine is mandatory when you return.
They're still figuring out how to make the airport safe as well (nvm the flight...)


And you risk getting charged if you happen to infect anyone after returning... (province to province travel in this case)

New Brunswick has reported its third new case of COVID-19 in a the last week and all are in a single cluster connected to a health-care worker at the Campbellton Hospital who failed to self-isolate after travelling to Quebec. The other two active cases are someone under the age of 19 and someone in their nineties who are linked to the health-care worker in their fifties who travelled to Quebec for personal reasons.

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs said there are rules in place and they must be followed and now because of "one irresponsible individual" a number of patients at the Campbellton Hospital might have been exposed. "We know we'll see more cases connected to this," said Higgs, who says the person was not "forthcoming about their reasons for travel upon returning to New Brunswick."

Dr. Russell said to slow the spread of COVID-19 Zone 5 (the Campbellton region), she is immediately restoring the restrictions that were removed last week -- but only in Zone 5. That means that all businesses that reopened last week and all activities that became permissible must close or stop as the area returns to the so-called "orange level" -- or the first phase of the removal of pandemic restrictions.

New Brunswick is taking it dead serious
