Once the plane lands at a military base in Trenton, Ont., the passengers will be examined once again. If any show signs of infection, they’ll have to stay at the base. The rest will be sent for a two-week stay at the NAV Canada Training Institute — a privately owned facility where soldiers learn to use radar technology and other aeronautical equipment.
But as the tradesmen erect fences around the Cornwall building and staff sterilize rooms inside, locals say they’re afraid their city isn’t equipped to handle such a complex medical intervention.
”Why not just put them at the Bell Centre (in Montreal), it makes about as much sense,” said Wayne McGill, who sat in the Riverside Restaurant just down the road from NAV Canada Wednesday. “There was no consultation with us, we have no idea how contagious this is, we have no idea what the risks are.”
Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement said her office wasn’t included in the decision by Public Health Agency Canada to set up a quarantine in the border city. She was informed of it after attending a production of Mamma Mia! at the local theatre Saturday.
