The government gave contracts to limousine companies in the Maritimes, A World Class Limousine Service based in Halifax and Silver's Limousine Services based in Fredericton, to transport international travellers to quarantine hotels. Anyone arriving in Canada is required to quarantine for 14 days and isn't allowed to take any kind of public transportation to get to where they are hunkering down. The Public Health Agency of Canada said the limo companies were there for travellers who couldn't find another way. “This service is used as a last resort once all other options have been exhausted,” wrote a spokesperson in an email to the National Post.
