A temporary foreign worker who recently arrived in Ontario from Jamaica has died while in isolation for COVID-19. Syed Hussan, executive director of the advocacy group Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, is frustrated with the lack of change amid the pandemic to better support temporary foreign workers. (Krystalle Ramlakhan/CBC)"Years into this crisis, migrant farm workers are still dying, they're working when they're sick, and they're being blamed for COVID-19 and the federal government," he said. In earlier stages of the pandemic, Windsor-Essex saw a disproportionate amount of COVID-19 cases among migrant farm workers. At least four temporary foreign workers have died in Ontario since the beginning of the pandemic.
