nuckin_futz Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Canada PM Trudeau says borders to be closed Mon 16 Mar 2020 17:40:41 GMT Canadian announcements on travel and borders Trudeau closes the borders. Says non-citizens and those who aren't permanent residents will be denied entry. Americans will be exempted as will air crews and family members of citizens. Canada will also ban passengers showing symptoms from getting on planes bound for Canada. This includes Canadians. Starting Wednesday only four airports in the country will accept international flights, except for the US, Mexico and the Caribbean. There are no restrictions on commerce and trade. Trudeau also announced that more measures are coming to support people and businesses tomorrow. He promised $10 billion more to help businesses and announcements to make money available to vulnerable families. Trudeau urges all Canadians to come back. "If you're abroad, now is the time to come home," he said. He tells all returning Canadians to self-isolate for 14 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a way to try and probe a little more info out of the dude. It's perfectly reasonable to ask why in a situation such as this, even if the answer isn't one you want to hear.

They're ASKING people if they have symptoms at the border. First off, people can lie. Second off, people don't show symptoms immediately. We already are failing to screen properly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Americans out [or rather, not in anymore], but this hardly changes anything if we, as citizens with homes here, isolate ourselves like we're supposed to be doing. 1 minute ago, EmilyM said: They're implementing an honour system.

It's going to be a tough few weeks/months, but take some initiative for your own actions, like we all should at times like this. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s killing the weak and sickly. Those who are dying, like with any flu, have underlying medical issues, especially respiratory. And these are numbers based on those who were tested, and were positive. 100 times more people carry the virus with minor or now symptoms.

I've been doing that pro bono For real though, I just hope everyone starts taking these precautions soon to minimize how long this terrible period will last. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
