Ottawa's directive to immediately return from international travel has left snowbirds grappling with whether to enter self-isolation in Canada or stay in sunnier climes.

The government's strong suggestion came over the weekend as some countries closed their borders in an effort to stop COVID-19's march across the globe, raising the possibility that Canadians could get stuck abroad. The feds also called on everyone returning from abroad to stay in isolation for weeks.

"I have a place to stay," she said. "My place in Canada is not very comfortable to live in right now. I think I'm better off to stay here, especially when there's so much traffic.""But people in Florida are used to hurricanes so one generally has a stockpile of a bit of canned goods and things anyway," Hayes said.

"We could have stayed longer but saw all these things in the newspapers about travel restrictions and things like that, so we thought we'll go back," said David Whitford. "We'd rather be home."
