The workers will have to self-isolate for 14 days, Freeland said, "just like anyone returning to Canada."
However, exactly how that isolation will work was not made clear Friday.

Where these workers will be isolated, or how large farms will handle COVID-19 cases after the workers arrive, has not been determined.
