Ontario court declares COVID nasal swabs unlawful, overturning $6,255 fine.

Sharing is Caring!

An Ontario court ruled in favor of Meththa Fernando, a woman who refused a COVID-19 nasal swab test upon returning to Canada in April 2022. She was initially convicted and fined $6,255 for failing to comply with the Quarantine Act. However, Ontario Court Justice Paul Monahan overturned her conviction, stating that the requirement for a nasal swab test was unlawful as it involved the insertion of an instrument into the traveler’s body.

This ruling highlights the limitations of the Quarantine Act regarding invasive screening tests.
