Canada tightens regulations for international air travel
0129 – If you had a Caribbean or Mexican vacation in mind, forget it. The Canadian government is finally getting serious about air travel as it relates to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Our prime minister has issued an edict that all Canadian travellers returning from overseas will have to take a COVID-19 test at the airport when they land and quarantine in a designated hotel for three days at their own expense.
Those with negative test results will be able to quarantine for the remainder of the mandatory two weeks at home, while those with positive tests will be required to quarantine in designated government facilities.
Airlines will suspend service to all Caribbean and Mexican destinations starting this Sunday until April 30.
Trudeau says it's important to further restrict international travel as more infectious variants of COVID-19 spread around the globe. In the coming weeks, non-essential travelers will also have to show a negative test before entry at the land border with the United States.

It's easy for politicians, they can spend what they want because somebody else will pay for it – the taxpayers.
Well done Merv & Marg
Nanaimo is still a good place, but the powers that be have let it run to ruin. This is sad to see.
i agree it is the volunteers in Nanaimo that make it such a wonderful place to live. I've lived all over B. C. and came back to Nanaimo to raise my kids and join the family business. Never any regret
Thank you Mr. Peckford for voicing concerns that many Canadians share, but remain silent.
