QUARANTINE PLAN
How to Write a Quarantine Plan
Your quarantine plan is your responsibility and is a requirement of the Government of Canada.
All international students attending approved Designated Learning Institutions (DLI’s) and intend to
travel to Canada, are required to have a thorough quarantine (self-isolation) plan to satisfy current
Canadian government travel restrictions concerning COVID-19. As part of the Quarantine Act, travelers
to Canada are required to self-isolate for 14 days, provide contact information, and monitor themselves
for symptoms. The Government of Canada is strictly enforcing quarantine requirements and failure to
satisfy these quarantine orders may result in serious penalties, including but not limited to 6 months in
prison and/or $750,000 in fines.
For more information, please refer to the Government of Canada guidelines and Trent
University’s COVID-19 Information Webpage.
This guide is intended to help you develop your personalized quarantine plan.
You quarantine plan should include the following:
1. Information about your suitable place of quarantine.
2. Your direct mode of transportation from the airport to your place of quarantine.
3. Information on how you plan to access basic necessities (food, medication) and services
(childcare, cleaning supplies, social or family support, pet care, etc.) without leaving your place
of quarantine.
Suitable Place of Quarantine:
If you are planning on living on campus, you may quarantine in one of Trent University’s
residence buildings. You must contact Trent Housing.
You may quarantine at an off-campus accommodation if you can physically distance from others
and avoid contact with vulnerable people (people 65 years or older, or people with underlying
medical conditions). Public living areas are to be avoided. You can only quarantine with
individuals who you have lived together with, in the same household (e.g., family members).
If you are booking a quarantine package with Trent Housing or the Holiday Inn Toronto Airport
East, print out the quarantine package information provided and include it in your quarantine
plan for the border agent.
Whether you are living on or off-campus a suitable quarantine space is as follows:
Must be a space you can separate yourself from others.
Must have access to essential services (food, medicine, furniture, medical care etc.).

medical conditions.
