1, the third wave of the Epidemic is about to break out! 3 days $2000 entry new policy 22 implementation! Variant virus spread…
CBC News latest news, today February 12, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the nation to make a speech, the official announcement of Canada‘s new measures for the entry of air travelers will come into effect on February 22, which includes a mandatory three-day quarantine at the hotel at their own expense. At the same Time, experts have already warned that the outbreak has not yet subsided, that a variant of the virus has spread across the country, and that a third wave of the outbreak could break out at any time.
Earlier, the federal government announced that air travellers returning to Canada from non-essential travel abroad would have to be quarantined at a federally designated location for 72 hours pending the release of test results. Subsequently, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that a three-day quarantine would cost an estimated $2,000, and that those who tested negative would be allowed to quarantine themselves for 14 days, while those who tested positive would need to be quarantined at a government-designated location.
But no matter how, now 3 days 2000 Canadian dollars quarantine cost has basically become a fact, this month 22 will be implemented, the price is also known as the world’s most expensive quarantine, excluding the basic test outside and airport transfer costs, the hotel alone quarantine this item is close to 700 Canadian dollars a day.
But currently a four-star hotel in Greater Vancouver 14-day package meal quarantine charges only 2800 Canadian dollars, an average of 200 Canadian dollars per day, 3 days, but 600 Canadian dollars, even if you pay for the nucleic acid test, the total amount is less than 1000 Canadian dollars. This 3-day rate of 2000 Canadian dollars, no wonder the netizens exclaimed “expensive out of this world”!
In this regard, Canada’s Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair (Bill Blair) explained on January 29 that this is not only the cost of accommodation and meals, but also includes a series of costs related to the outbreak, such as testing, transportation, hotel security and protection for hotel staff. But no matter how you calculate it, the netizens can hardly accept this “sky-high” price!
The government has already been advised that at such a special time, Canadians who have to leave the country because they are reunited with their spouses or sick relatives or need medical care should be exempted from mandatory quarantine in hotels to relieve them of the financial pressure in this regard. Trudeau also said that the government has been aware of the needs of the people in this regard, it is indeed necessary to fully consider the plight of the people in this regard, and will continue to work with the ministers, will also closely monitor the progress of these measures, and make adjustments where appropriate.
In addition, the federal government has imposed travel restrictions on most foreign nationals since March 2020. Trudeau also previously announced that beginning Feb. 15, non-essential travelers entering Canada through the land border will soon be required to submit proof of a negative New Coronavirus test prior to entry. Canada Border Services Agency officials cannot legally deny entry to Canadians, but those who are unable to submit proof of a virus test but want to enter the country may face fines of up to $3,000.
British, South African and Brazilian mutant strains of the new coronavirus have now emerged in eight of Canada’s ten provinces. The minute is the result of a national flowering. Most worryingly, many of those infected with the variant virus have not traveled abroad at all, nor have they had contact with people returning from abroad. This means that the spread of the variant virus may be more widespread than doctors are aware of.
At this time, the Canadian federal and provincial governments’ public health departments have not revised their preparedness measures for the variola virus. But some experts are warning that if no timely action is taken, the variola virus could bring a third wave of the epidemic to Canada that is worse than the second!
In an interview with Radio-Canada, Dr. Marine Klein of McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine warned that it is only a matter of time before there is an explosion of cases of variola virus infections. She argued that the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil were slow to act after the discovery of the mutant virus, and that Canada is making the same mistakes. One of the mistakes is that the embargo was incomplete and the embargo was lifted too quickly. Currently, Ontario and Quebec each have about a thousand new cases a day, but both provinces are gradually unblocking.
But the UK variant is 40% more infected than in the past, and premature unblocking in this case is likely to contribute to their spread. And the latest model projections also show that in four to six weeks, the UK variant will be the main new coronavirus spreading in the province. A third wave of the epidemic is inevitable if this state of affairs continues.
