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.
