In the milesopedia community, the announcement of the extension of this quarantine <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/milesopedia\/permalink\/2840063866227569\/\">has sparked a great deal of respectful debate<\/a>.  The arguments are valid for both opponents and defenders of this measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever happens, the law is the law. If you want to travel right now, you have <strong>to take this into account<\/strong>. And it is only natural that I will comply with this requirement by respecting this 14-day quarantine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it is not only to respect the law:<strong>it is mostly to protect my family and those around me.<\/strong> I therefore arranged to isolate myself for 14 days on my return to <a href=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/en\/reviews\/hotels\/review-sonder-apartment-new-orleans\/\">a Sonder apartment at Montreal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch this video clip about Sonder and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sonder.com\/fr\/covid-response\">our pandemic efforts<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5b775dkGqJ4\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This implies not getting in contact with anyone, even Audrey and our children: 2 weeks of travel + 2 weeks of quarantine = 1 month without seeing each other.

When travel really resumes &#8211; that is, when the Government of Canada relaxes its rules &#8211; these businesses will be ready to welcome travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as you can see: there is more than just leisure travel. There are also business trips, but also, and above all, trips to be closer to loved ones in good times, but also in more difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can follow me via <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jm_voisine\/\">Instagram<\/a> stories:<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='m-h'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='card'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_card container_template--m-h container_count--1'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"card_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"22642\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-utm=\"wpb\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<div class=\"card\">\n\t<div class=\"card--grid\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card--img-outer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--img\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-card\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card--title-offer-selling\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--title-offer\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--selling-points\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-bar--short\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-bar--short\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-bar--short\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card--apply\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"apply-btn\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-btn\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m getting ready to leave for several weeks of domestic and international travel.
