An Ontario family has vowed to fight the $3,458 bill that a 4-star hotel in Toronto charged them for their temporary stay for mandatory quarantine.

Under Canada’s travel restrictions, starting Feb. 21, travellers, unless exempted, are required to reserve a government-authorized hotel for 3 nights to quarantine before boarding a flight to the country.
