This program is for Quarantine Officers (nurses or doctors). Quarantine Officers work with PHAC partners, local health authorities, law enforcement and other stakeholders to protect public health by doing health assessments and risk assessments on travellers at border points of entry. They take measures such as ordering travellers to undergo medical exams, ordering people to report to local health authorities and in some cases arrest and detain travellers to ensure public safety.
