Travelling via Egypt

With hospitals already over capacity Canada can't afford to open up travel even with strict quarantine. You will still have infected people who will end up in hospital.

That's an another matter where i won't say anything.

Just clarifying why quarantining for 14 days with our high hospital admissions isn't possible.

I agree with you but what i am saying is that canada can create stronger quarantine system. Instead of 3 day hotel quarantine they can convert it into 14 days so no issue will occur. With stricter quarantine rules they could've keep the borders open and Canadians safe.

Canada has one of the strictest quarantine rules in the world. You quarantine 3 days in port of entry and have a test, then if negative, you can travel to your home and quarantine there for 11 days and have 2 covid tests in this 11 days quarantine. You will be called everyday to check your wellness. By the way, most of daily covid cases is not because international travel.

But then who are you expecting will pay for this?

I am all in favour of this as long as those traveling are willing to pay the full bill for the hotel stay. Canadian taxpayers shouldn't have to subsidize this.

If you're proposing a 14 day hotel quarantine as a solution, then you need to be personally willing to spend $4000 to $5000 to make this possible.

I haven't said anything about who will pay or not as its depend on traveller that is he willing to spend that much or not.

It doesn't actually. Canada is middle of the pack.

There is a group of countries with much stricter restrictions which include NZ, Australia, Singapore and others.

This is from Global news posted on 13th May. You are right it's just not all about International travel, we are forgetting domestic flights and Community spreading within Canada.

"However, since the ban, it has been revealed that 80 per cent of COVID-19 cases from all Canadian air travel came from domestic flights, according to federal data.

A Global News analysis also found 226 domestic flights had at least one COVID-19 case aboard, compared to 50 international flights entering Canada, between April and May."
