Ottawa: All COVID-19 border measures for travellers arriving in Canada will be dropped from October 1, announced Health Minister Jean-Yves.
As per the latest announcement, foreign travellers will no longer be required to provide proof of vaccination or test on arrival. Quarantine policies for arriving travellers will also be scrapped.
“We are able to do this because tens of millions of Canadians rolled up their sleeves and got vaccinated,” Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said.
The health minister said the government was prepared to reinstate restrictions if needed. “Obviously we have no hope to reintroduce some of these measures, but, if we need to protect the safety of Canadians, we will have to,” Duclos said.
Most European countries, including Germany, dropped entry requirements related to the coronavirus before the summer travel season began.
