PRE-ENTRY COVID TESTING ENDS APRIL 1

Post by rookiepilot »

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federa ... -1.6386763

The federal government is expected to announce as soon as tomorrow that travellers entering Canada will no longer have to take a pre-arrival COVID-19 test, CBC News has learned.

Sources with knowledge of the matter confirm Canada is removing the testing requirements at airports and land border crossings.

Currently, travellers entering the country must show proof of a negative antigen or molecular test within a day of their flight or arrival at the border.

That testing requirement will be dropped by the end of the month, the sources said.

The move comes two years into the pandemic as travel picks up and provinces and territories ease restrictions involving vaccine passports, gatherings and masks.

The federal government will continue to randomly test travellers upon arrival in Canada to identify and track variants, the sources said. The government has been spending millions of dollars on randomly testing vaccinated travellers entering Canada.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Got back from Europe (3rd time in the last 6 months). I went to friends' houses, pubs, markets, squares, patios and closed a club down at 7am.

Life was back to normal there. It was amazing. Can't wait for it to be the same here.

I checked the science, and it says you are the problem. I think this is why people called the unvaccinated people plague rats. Check out the graph below and you will see that you didn’t get vaccinated, and then cases took off like a rocket ship. 🤦🏼‍♂️
