Windsor West MP Brian Masse is calling for "additional measures" at the Windsor-Detroit border.
Confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Michigan have skyrocketed, so the New Democrat wants to see stronger protocols in place for the thousands of essential workers that are commuting daily.
In a release on March 27, Masse says "these actions could include potential options such as heightened and expansive daily screening for each health worker."
Masse is calling for the, "segregation of returning health workers to designated housing" and possibly requiring those making daily trips to stay in the U.S. "until public health authorities have alternative solutions" as potential solutions.
Both the Canadian and U.S. governments have already closed the border to all non-essential travel.
