Ottawa says it has no idea how many people defied hotel quarantine rules

The federal government has doled out hundreds of fines since Feb. 22 — typically for $3,000 each — to air passengers who refused to quarantine in a designated hotel upon arrival in Canada.

Even so, the government couldn’t provide CBC News with a total number of people who’ve violated its rule that passengers entering Canada be tested for COVID-19, then quarantine in a hotel while waiting for their results.  

And when CBC tried to track down the total number of hotel quarantine violators, it found no evidence of fines being issued to passengers
