Canada’s COVID travel rules for China won’t stop spread of new variants: experts

“But let’s not pretend that requiring travellers from China to have a negative PCR test before coming to Canada will have any impact on the Canadian experience with COVID-19,” he said. “It won’t.”

“So just requiring a negative PCR test from Chinese travellers, from a science and medical standpoint, will not have much impact for Canada,” Bogoch said. A more effective measure, Bowman said, would be testing wastewater from airplanes and airports to check for the viral load and mutations.Vancouver International Airport said Saturday it would expand its wastewater testing pilot program.

“I think in the years ahead when this story is told, when we have some objectivity, which I don’t think any of us really have, including me — when we’re really away from this — I think when we look at the big picture globally, we’re going to see that we did a lot of things that were much more political than evidence based.”Most people in Canada have some form of immunity through a combination of vaccines and previous infections, he added.

We shouldn't politicalize COVID. If our border wants to stop the virus, watch out XBB.1.5.

⚠️Vaccinated 4 times more likely to die than unvaccinated whove had covid. Why arent you following the science anymore? Remeber how government and media said natural immunity was a conspiracy theory ? We were all lied to. Lets hold them accountable

Vaccinated 4 tImes more likely to die than unvaccinated who've had covid. NATURALIMMUNITY is another of the long list of conspiracy theories that came true. What happened to following the science? What we have in common is we were all lied to. Lets hold them accountable

Then people should not be allowed in to Canada until they are of no risk. Regarding Covid, it feels like Canadians continue to be used as guinea pigs.

When you're feeling 👍 👌 great. It is so easy to spread BS. But, that positive Covid test at a crowded ER that has no time for you while you cough your guts out and spit blood. Well, that ends the BS🤐

Says who?

In Canada, we should care about the competence of authority figures making life or death decisions. The Prime Minister is a school teacher, the Minister of Health is an economist & the head of the Public Health Agency is a vet OPHA_Ontario GGCanada fordnation SylviaJonesMPP

I didn't think the Libs wanted to stop it in 2020 February

Who knew?

No Shit!

Nope it won't, every country doing this is just downplaying how bad it really is. Wonder why our hospital system is collapsing? Is it Covid? Is there a link!? HMMM!? Unvaccinated!? Anyone making this link, here?

Just listen to the government and COVID will disappear. That's worked perfectly in the past right

Fact checked I'm sure. 😏

But it will stop the spread of these people within our country, so that's pretty good, too

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Les plus confinés, vaccinés et masqués 🤣 ça fonctionne votre affaire 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

We have failed to stop before, why would the same measurement works now? However, this would greatly reduce ppl get infected in general here, less stressful to our healthcare system.

Cuz China isn't the problem. What about rest of Asia's,like India? Fastest growing migration to Canada and elsewhere.
