Keep border closed until U.S. ‘breeding ground’ for virus under control, say public health experts
'If I were Trudeau I would probably be careful about opening the border with the U.S.' says Melissa Marx of Johns Hopkins University. 'The U.S. doesn’t know who is infected and who is not.'
Two Canadian experts agree, but Steven Hoffman, who advises governments on health threats, says partially opening the border could be one of the first steps Canada takes to ease the COVID-19 lockdown.
Canada should not reopen its borders until new cases of the novel coronavirus are on the decline, and each one can be traced and contained—both at home, and in the United States, say three experts in public health from both sides of the border.
