To limit the spread of COVID-19, travellers entering Canada must follow the rules set out by the emergency orders under the Quarantine Act.
Canada’s Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam said on November 11, “The number of people experiencing severe illness continues to increase. Provincial and territorial data, indicate that an average of 1,361 people with COVID-19 were being treated in Canadian hospitals each day during the most recent 7-day period (Nov 4-10), including 258 of whom were being treated in intensive care units.”
Canadians can also go the extra mile by sharing credible information on COVID-19 risks and prevention practices and measures to reduce COVID-19 in communities and by downloading the COVID Alert app to help limit the spread of COVID-19.
As per the travel advisory, if you have recently returned to Canada, you must quarantine for 14 days from the date you arrived in Canada. This is mandatory, whether or not you have symptoms. Refer to the government’s travel restrictions, exemptions and advice for up-to-date information.
