COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

re: Canada/US Border

So, my brother in law, who works on vehicles, is constantly getting parts in from the US. Sometimes, they don't ship across the border, so he has them delivered to a warehouse and every couple of months he crosses to pick up a shipment.

He just went a couple of weeks ago and it was the first time since the COVID outbreak. He said it was 'eerie' - no cars. He was the only one crossing at the time he went. When he crossed over into the US, they asked the typical questions - nothing really different.

When he crossed back into Canada, it was a different story.

The border agents asked him health questions and where he went - he had to give an address and it was deemed 'within the city' even though it was on the outskirts and he didn't even talk to anyone.

He was told anyone coming from the US and had any potential contact with anyone/anything in the US, it was a mandatory quarantine. 14 days. And if he was going home, his wife and kids had to quarantine for 14 days.

Every day, he got a call from Health Canada to check that he was at home and he was told that regional Health Canada officials could come to his house, take his temperature and give him a screening. He also had to submit information for contact tracing. And if he was found in violation, it's a 3-year prison sentence or 3-million dollar fine.

Canada is *NOT* playing around.
