Exempting the passengers on the flights from Haiti from the pre-boarding negative test requirement without a testing contingency was a major blunder. All passengers should have been isolated upon landing (before walking thru the airport to immigration) and tested immediately upon arrival. Rapid tests can easily be deployed. This is so obvious and simple yet no one thought of it? Canada and Canadians seem to enjoy bragging about how great Canada is, yet simple things like proper testing of these arrivals is not done. Heck, many “third world” countries handle arrivals better. In fact, all arrivals should be tested now.
