Canada To Drop All COVID Protocols For Travelers

September 26, 2022 Canada, Coronavirus

The federal government says it’s dropping all COVID-19 measures at borders on Saturday, meaning travellers will no longer need to provide proof of vaccination when entering Canada or wear masks on planes and trains. As of Oct. 1, all travellers, regardless of citizenship, will no longer have to:

-provide proof of vaccination;
-Undergo pre- or on-arrival testing;
-Carry out COVID-19-related quarantine or isolation;
-Undergo health checks for travel on air and rail;
-Or wear masks on planes and trains.

Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said Monday’s decision is not a sign Canada is out of the pandemic, but said the government’s data showed the importation of new variants was no longer having an effect on the evolution of the virus in country.
