Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliot and Solicitor General Sylvia Jones are calling for tighter restrictions at the Canada-US border.

Both are calling for a mandatory three day hotel quarantine for all travelers at high traffic crossings. Both signed on a letter sent to Federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu.

Both Elliot and Jones say people will fly into Buffalo then take a taxi or car to get across the border, eliminating the need to quarantine in a hotel whereas returning flights into Canada must quarantine.

The call is for the mandatory stay at anyone crossing from Niagara, Windsor, Sarnia and Brockville.
