Amidst fears surrounding the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, forced quarantine at Canada’s COVID jails is back — and conditions for those stuck inside are reportedly worse than ever.
Last week, Canada announced travel bans affecting 10 African countries connected to the Omicron variant. Canadian citizens and permanent residents who have been to any of the 10 countries within the past 14 days are forced to stay at a government-designated quarantine facility upon returning to Canada — regardless of vaccination status — as they await the results of an arrival COVID-19 test.
Even after receiving a negative test result, travellers must wait — in some cases a number of days — for permission from public health officials before they can go. Once permitted to leave the site, travellers must finish a full 14-day quarantine at home, under threat of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fines.
Reports from within the newly-revived detainment facilities detail abhorrent conditions for travellers who are given no other choice but to isolate within.
