Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mulls mandatory hotel quarantine for returning travellers. B.C. has been caller for stricter policies around enforcing the Quarantine Act. This would help.

Let me be very clear: Nobody should be taking a vacation abroad right now. If you’ve got one planned, cancel it - and don’t book a trip for spring break. We need to hang on and hold tight for the next few months, and get through to the spring in the best shape possible.
