Canada drops all COVID restrictions for travelers

Canada will drop all COVID-19 restrictions, including vaccination and masking requirements for flights, for citizens and international visitors, beginning on October 1, the government announced. “We’ll continue to follow the latest available science and do whatever is necessary to protect your health,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted in announcing the lifting of the restrictions. “Obviously we have no hope to reintroduce some of these measures but if we need to protect the safety of Canadians, we will have to,” Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said.
