COVID-19 travel rules easing Monday for children and the fully vaccinated

There are also changes coming to the current requirement on international travellers to provide a quarantine plan upon entry.

All travellers, regardless of their vaccination status, still have to continue to wear a mask throughout the duration of their travel journey if using federally-regulated means of transportation such as a plane or train, and will be informed by border agents when they can remove their mask.

“This kind of requirement requires ongoing evaluation. Right now of course within the Canadian context, Omicron BA.2 is going strong… I think it's one of the least intrusive measures but adds definitely another layer of protection. But I think, you know, one has always got to reevaluate policies over time, including the epidemiologic situation in Canada, and overseas as well,” said Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam about the mask mandate.

The government is continuing its “mandatory random testing” program for fully vaccinated travellers as well, but those who are selected do not have to quarantine while awaiting their test results. This randomized testing is limited to four major international airports in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.

Too soon!!

At the border, anyone entering Canada who isn’t fully vaccinated will continue to be tested with a COVID-19 molecular test upon arrival, and on day eight of their 14-day quarantine - you can’t arrive in Canada unless fully vaccinated adult?

Unvaccinated kids under 12 entering Canada no longer need COVID-19 testPre-entry tests will still be needed for partially vaccinated or unvaccinated travellers over the age of 12 who are eligible to travel to Canada While they are piling on the 4th vax on everyone else? I just don't get how dysfunctional and arbitrary our Covid response is. They keep telling us they are following the science, then make up rules without any evidence. Masking for 14 days even after just a one day cross- border visit to a relative? C'mon. They repeatedly undermine their credibility with such nonsense.
