Leonard Skead, who lives in Brandon, said he felt like he was put in jail for a crime he didn't commit when he was forced to stay an extra day in a Toronto quarantine hotel.
Skead says he wasn't allowed to leave a Toronto quarantine hotel until the day after he received a negative result on the COVID-19 test he completed when he landed in Canada.
He says the negative results came out on Saturday, but a quarantine officer didn't call until Sunday, and he says it meant he had to cancel his flight and stay in the quarantine hotel another day.
Canadians traveling from one of 10 African countries, including South Africa and Egypt, are required to obtain a COVID-19 test in the country they're traveling from, obtain a second test while in transit and get a third after arrival in Canada.
