Anyone concerned if the Day10 test falls out on yom tov or if you can't enter information in ArriveCan on yom tov what will happen? Will we be transferred to a quarantine facility or fined?

I’ve gone back and forth to the US and never called the numbers they gave once.
Nothing happened.
Some of my kids are in for yom Tov, they didn’t take the tests or call.
None of my friends kids are even really keeping to quarantine, neither are my kids friends.
Nothing is happening. Most people I know have had enough and not following these ridiculous rules.
Everyone has to calm down and live their lives.

Just wondering if there are any updates about getting into Canada quarantining in Canada that we should know about.

Plan on staying for 2 weeks.

Did you need to Covid test everyone within 3 days in advance? Did they ask about it?

Just bumping this. Really would prefer not to get the whole family tested tonight, wondering if it's ABSOLUTELY required.

Yes it’s required. They won’t let you in. Make sure you get the right kind of test and results printed out clearly.

Not everyone is out and about. People who don't want to risk a huge fine are quarantining like they should be. I am one of those people. The people you see who are out and about either got an exemption or they are breaking the law, which is not okay.

I don’t
Most people I know have not quarantined this year included myself. We don’t have exemptions, we’re just trying to live a normal life.
Literally every bachur that came back is roaming the streets. All the young marrieds are out and about.
You can stay holed up hiding in your house, because the government is out of their minds

I don’t know where you are but in montreal officers come to check on your quarantine at least a few times during the 14 days. Sometimes even twice a day!! Here, everyone stays home or goes out max down the block so they can run back in case they come. And it’s happened that people ran home because officers were at the door. You get a huge fine if you’re not home!!

I’m not sure why you think you are above the law. Everyone wants to live a normal life. Why do you think covid hit the Toronto frum community so strongly to begin with? People roaming the street have blood on their hands.

You follow your science, I’ll follow mine.
No one ever checked on any of my family members. We’ve all gone back and forth a few times.
Never got one visit

Or are you just referring to so called positive cases?

I’ll give you a hint.
It’s non existent.
