A B.C. man has a warning for anyone travelling to the U.S. after an unexpected COVID-19 test result landed him and three friends in self-isolation instead of their intended destination of Las Vegas. Trevor Meyer said he won't forget the moment a worker from the CVM Medical test clinic called his name at Vancouver International Airport on Sept. 18, before she put on her surgical jacket and kept her distance. "She's like, 'Were you planning on travelling today?'" Meyer recalled. "And I'm like, 'Well, I was, but it looks like I'm not going to be travelling today.' And she's like, 'Yeah, you tested positive.'" 1:13 171 COVID-19 false positives 'very traumatizing' says Saskatchewan health minister of lab errors in long-term care ...

Anu Khullar says she was shocked how easy it was to refuse to quarantine in a hotel after landing in Calgary on June 20, following a trip to Honduras. She received no pushback and no fine, she said. "There were two police officers standing there and they just smiled at me and said, 'Hi,'" said Khullar who lives in Edmonton and owns a home in Honduras.  "Got my luggage, got my car, drove home, everything was great." Canada's hotel quarantine requirement for international air passengers ended in August, but it's still sparking controversy. That's because while more than 5,000 air passengers who refused to quarantine in a hotel were hit with fines, others who violated the rule faced no repercussions. "This wasn't a program that was sort of implemented fairly, necessarily, across the board," said Cara Zwibel, director of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association's fundamental freed...
