Canada confirms hotel quarantine measures and airport and land border testing

New testing and quarantine upon arrival requirements were announced by Prime Minister Trudeau on February 12. There are somewhat different rules in place, depending on whether the international traveler is arriving in Canada via a land border, or whether he or she is arriving at one of the four designated airports accepting international passenger traffic during the pandemic (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal). In addition to this new information, there continues to be a 14-day quarantine requirement for all new international arrivals to Canada, unless a person is otherwise specifically exempted.
