Ravideep Kaur's day isn't complete until she's read a bedtime story to her seven-year-old son.
What's odd about her situation is that she does this at 9 a.m., before leaving for her job as an assistant at a Kanata dental clinic. Kaur's husband Atul Nagar and their son Avikam are stuck in India, unable to get back home because of a flight ban.
On April 22, the federal government announced a ban on flights from India and Pakistan due to a spike in cases in both countries.
