Canada has yet to open its doors to unvaccinated tourists.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, OTTAWA – Prime Minister Canada Justin Trudeau says, unvaccinated foreign tourists Covid-19 will not be allowed to enter his country for a certain period of time. This regulation was adopted because the government did not want to jeopardize the progress made in the fight against the epidemic.
“I can tell you now that it won’t be for quite a while,” Trudeau said, when asked by reporters when Canada would allow unvaccinated tourists to Canada on Thursday. Reuters.
As of this week, Canada dropped quarantine requirements for citizens who have received two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. However, foreign visitors who do not have essential interests are still not allowed to enter despite pressure from the country’s tourism sector.
Trudeau has previously said authorities are closely monitoring national vaccination rates, the spread of worrying variants and how the rest of the world is handling Covid-19. While its neighbor, the United States, has no vaccine requirement for visitors, Trudeau said, at this point talks about lifting border restrictions are focused on fully vaccinated visitors.
