‘Completely unacceptable’: COVID-19 customer rudeness reaches breaking point in B.C. There has been an increase in incidents of drivers with American licence plates being on the receiving end of verbal abuse.
The border between the United States and Canada has been closed since March for all but essential travellers due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19.Anyone coming to Canada from outside the country is legally required to quarantine for 14 days.
There have been reports of drivers telling border officials they are driving directly to Alaska but staying in B.C. instead without quarantining.But most Americans in Canada are here with family or for work and plan on returning home as soon as the border reopens.
