政府该出面帮助自我隔离：请华人给议员发信

尽管加拿大卫生部长Patty Hajdu发出呼吁：凡是最近14天曾经去过湖北省的加拿大人，最好能够留在家中自我隔离至少两周。但是加拿大各级政府至今没有任何具体行动来帮助支持自我隔离者，为此华人社区有网友发出倡议，建议安省政府立刻采取措施，解决自我隔离者的住宿、个人收入损失等具体问题，希望华人网友给自己所在区的省议员MPP写信。

据自我隔离志愿者联盟负责人介绍说：在过去几天里加拿大全国自发成立了非常多的隔离互助群组，得到了媒体、志愿者和近期来加的华人的多方的积极响应和帮助。目前发现最急迫的问题是自我隔离者的住宿问题。有媒体报道已经发生了房东拒绝租客返加自我隔离的要求，这些租客面临无家可归的境地。这些人现在必须找到可靠合适的住处，平白无故地因为疫情的缘故被迫去承受一笔恐怕难以应付的费用，对于他们来说，高额的自我隔离成本会让他们原本想要自我隔离的心打退堂鼓，有人可能因此被迫隐瞒，成为潜在的风险，为社区带来了巨大的隐患。

现在，全国各地的隔离互助的群主们建立了一个隔离房解决方案委员会，希望能够在住房方面解除自愿隔离者更多的顾虑，帮他们找到可靠且不会掏空他们腰包的房源。这需要政府的努力，为此呼吁加拿大华人，一起用行动来游说各级政府，支援华人社区，解决短期的隔离房屋的房源，齐心协力，保家卫国，在这场防疫战中为自愿隔离的人员提供可靠安全的可隔离房源。

为了帮助那些英文能力有限的朋友，志愿者帮助写了一份英文信样本（附在文末），大家只需填上MPP的名字和自己的名字即可。

“关心自我隔离同胞志愿者”微信群内就有一些网友反映了自我隔离的住处难觅的问题。

一位房屋租赁管家告诉51记者，她代理的房子遍布大多伦多地区，最近一段时间业务明显上升。她说目前还有一些待出租房子，都符合自我隔离条件，但是因为房子面积较大，费用比较高，日租金在200到300加元之间。也有楼上楼下分门出入的独立屋可分开出租，这样费用就低很多，大约日租金在100到120加元之间。便宜的房子虽然每天只需几十元租金但都是与房东同住，不适合自我隔离。

也许还有其他解决办法，欢迎网友献计献策，共同帮助自我隔离者解决实际难题。

给省议员MPP的英文信样本：

Dear [此处填MPP的名字 ],

I am writing to you to seek your support as our community, along with local residents and all Canadians,is fighting against the coronavirus 2019-nCov.

Updates from WHO as well as other authorities from both Canada and China confirmed that the most effective approach to contain this highly contagious virus is to quarantine for all passengers to Canada who visited the epidemic centers recently. Our Canadian government sets an example on this by putting all those repatriated from Wuhan, China in quarantine for 14 days at the Trenton CFB.

However, those who come to Canada on their own do not receive enough attention in this regard, and the resulting risk of the coronavirus spreading and outbreak in Canada is at large. For the health and safety of all Canadians and our local residents, we urge you to help establish and enforce a rigorous quarantine protocol at the government level, and act quickly while the situation is still controllable!

As reported by CBC, the Chinese community in Canada is making significant effort in supporting voluntary quarantine. Most people who recently returned to Canada from China are doing their due diligence to prevent potential spreading of the coronavirus, by practicing self-imposed quarantine for 14 days. Over 2000 volunteers across Canada are making their best effort to support those self-quarantines by providing grocery shopping, delivery, and other emergency supplies.

But we find it increasingly difficult to do it alone and we are limited by resources. One particular challenge is to find suitable places for quarantine, especially for those who stay in shared accommodations. Ideally people who need to be quarantined should stay in their own place, and their room mates move out to other places if possible. However it is a very complicated situation, which caused quite a few who just returned from China became homeless temporarily. It would be really helpful if our government can allocate dedicated places for the purpose of quarantine and provide the necessary professional support.

This is a matter of urgency and could affect every Canadian, including residents in your constituency. We turn to you for support and we put our confidence in your leadership. Together we can win this race against the coronavirus to protect the health and safety for all of us!

Thank you.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
