Kimberley Muise, a B.C. cancer patient taking part in a clinical trial that requires monthly trips to the U.S., said on Rosemary Barton Live she was distraught when she learned of the federal government's mandatory hotel quarantine requirement. @RosieBarton
@gojetsgo85 @AshFloyd3@RosieBarton Not in the case of these folks who are part of a clinical trial and who Rosemary Barton spoke with today. Of course the rich go elsewhere for health treatments.
@ThibaultDereka@RosieBarton@CBCNews This has nothing to do with vacationers!!! This is for people reviving life saving cancer treatment not yet approved in Canada.
@Vicki_Asu@RosieBarton Of course! Should these patients get covid they are out of the trial for treatment. They can’t risk getting covid travel or no travel.
Cancer patients travelling to the U.S. for treatment are asking for exemption from quarantine rules. A B.C. resident who says her travel is essential to her wellbeing will be joining Rosemary Barton Live. That's coming up at 11 ET on CBCNN and CBC Gem.
