Currently, incoming air travellers must spend three days at a quarantine hotel at their expense, then complete their two weeks of self-isolation at their destination. They have to take a second test on Day 8 after arrival, which will no longer be required of fully vaccinated people. We ll be watching carefully here in Canada and around the world as cases change and as vaccination rates rise, Health Minister Patty Hajdu said. These metrics are very important factors.
The new rules would also apply to certain Indigenous Canadians and foreigners already allowed into the country, the Health Ministry said.
Several Conservative MPs said the Liberal government had failed to end its unscientific and unsafe quarantine hotel program, which still remains in effect for many travellers.

The lawyers representing a former New Brunswick doctor say Premier Blaine Higgs used his parliamentary privilege to attack an innocent man.
The Crown dropped charges against Dr. Jean-Robert Ngola last week in connection with failing to quarantine after a trip to Quebec.
In the provincial legislature Tuesday, Higgs challenged the physician to waive his privacy rights so he can share what he knows about last year’s COVID-19 outbreak in Campbellton.
In a statement following the comment, Dr. Ngola’s lawyers, Joel Etienne and Christian Michaud, said the premier is unfairly singling out a racialized Canadian with no justification and the “clock is ticking” for him to apologize.
