That's their problem. Should have thought of that before going on vacation, etc.

Canada is just creating a problem for poorer countries while gaining very little - there's barely any community spread. If a Canadian returns home from the Carribean, on average both countries will have less covid.
- jeromegv 6y agoGovernments has been telling people for months not to go on vacation, that is correct, they should have thought of that before leaving. They also gave 2 weeks notice so if you went somewhere and didn't think you could get a COVID test, there was still time to make it back home before the ban started.
