I keep looking at all those islands in our north surrounded by       starving polar bears . . . .       ________________________       Toronto Star - Wed., Feb. 10, 2021              After police charged a man with forging COVID test results at Pearson, a Peel       doctor worries travellers could try to ‘game the system’              A Brampton emergency room physician says the allegation that a man forged       COVID test results to evade detection at Pearson airport is concerning as       others may try to “game the system.”              Dr. Tushar Mehta’s concern about the public risk posed by exposure to       international travellers came after Peel Regional Police confirmed they have       charged a 29-year-old Stratford man with using a fraudulent COVID-19 document       at Pearson while trying to        enter the country, at around 7 p.m. Monday.              Stricter rules have recently been put in place for international travellers.              “If people start finding out that you can game the system, then it could       become normal practice,” said Mehta, an emergency room physician at Brampton       Civic hospital. “That’s a problem.”              Mehta’s level of worry is amplified by the ongoing risk posed by the       potential entry of new and more contagious variants on international flights.              “There can be systemic issues with how to verify that somebody has proper       documentation,” said Mehta, who has also worked in Brampton COVID testing       sites.              Const. Danny Marttini said the man — who entered Canada on an international       flight, though she wouldn’t say from where — raised the suspicion of       Canada Border Services Agency officers and public quarantine officers at the       inspection point after he        tried to pass off the alleged forged paperwork as a negative test.              A more detailed probe of the COVID document revealed that it was fraudulent,       and it was, in fact, a positive test result, Marttini said.              https://media.tenor.com/images/a3bdca541e6495d1043d6c9ec1af9b79/tenor.gif              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
