COVID-19 Alert out to Emergency Broadcast System

Not taking the isolate at home serious enough? The Provincial Government here is using the Emergency Alert System to notify and remind citizens about mandatory isolation especially if you are returning to Canada from the U.S.

Apparently this is needed as not all returning travellers (I'm not sure how) are aware that they are supposed to be in mandatory isolation for 14 days. Living under a rock I guess.

Both sets of my parents returned to Canada this week. One set drove up from Alabama and are self-isolating at home, as they are supposed to. As is the set having just returned from Belize yesterday. Sounds like they were on one of the last repatriation flights out of there.

We're glad they are back... now we wait. Both sets are doing well, so far.

This use of the Emergency Broadcast system certainly hits home the seriousness of this crisis.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy.
