Hajdu ‘laser focused’ on community COVID-19 spread amid calls for tougher borders
COVID-19, despite calls for tougher border measures that could slow the entry of more transmissible variants.Speaking to Mercedes Stephenson on The West Block Sunday, Hajdu pushed back on suggestions that further restricting travel or lengthening the quarantine period for travellers could also have an impact on community transmission.“People are getting sick at work, they’re getting sick in crowded housing settings, they’re getting sick in the community,” she said.“And that community transmission is where we need to stay laser focused, because when we bring down cases of COVID in the community, that’s when we start to see the resumption of more normal Canadian life.” COVID-19: Ontario government asks for mandatory 3-day hotel quarantines
