Global News published this video item, entitled “Experts warned of new COVID-19 variants. Why did Ottawa wait for stricter travel rules?” – below is their description.
The federal government has imposed new measures intended to make it harder for Canadians to travel abroad as the country grapples with rising cases of COVID-19 variants.
A Global News investigation has found mutated forms of the virus are taking hold in pockets of Canada and as Morganne Campbell reports, medical experts say it’s a third wave we’re not prepared for.
Anyone entering Canada for non-essential purposes is required to quarantine for 14 days upon their arrival. Anyone who’s sick must self-isolate regardless of whether they are deemed essential.
The federal government announced new travel rules on Jan. 29, including mandatory COVID-19 testing for travellers returning to Canada, a mandatory three-night quarantine in a hotel at a cost of roughly $2,000 per person, and increased enforcement by private security firms.
All international flights must also land at one of four airports: Montreal, Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver.
