The mandatory quarantines have restricted these people from going outside to retrieve food. So they must rely on staff who were not adequately equipped with supplies, Zero Hedge reported.
At a Holiday Inn quarantine in Toronto, residents also complained about water shortages, cold food, and a lack of utensils.
“I was so hungry. I called so many times,” one woman told CTV News.
Canadian officials were underprepared as the lack of security and confusion among hotel staff resulted in starving people.
A spokesperson for the Minister of Health said they had been informed of many of these mishaps., Zero Hedge researched,
“We’re aware of reports that some travelers have experienced issues with food and accommodation at government-authorized hotels during their mandatory 3-night hotel stopover,” they said in an email.
“The Public Health Agency of Canada is working directly with hotel partners to find solutions to these issues.”
