Starting February 22, all air travellers will have to isolate in one of the hotels. They re responsible for booking a room and paying for it. Paul Postema
The federal government has unveiled its list of approved quarantine hotels
It could be up to 72 hours and travellers have to pay the hotel themselves.
If you’re landing at Pearson Airport, there are four options:
Alt Hotel Pearson Airport
Holiday Inn Toronto International Airport
Sheraton Gateway Hotel in Toronto International Airport
The others are for Calgary International Airport, Vancouver International Aiport, and Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.
For the second time in a week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has warned Canadians not to travel.
At a press conference on Friday, Trudeau said no one should be planning an international trip and warned that his government might implement new measures without notice.
“We could be bringing in new measures that significantly impede your ability to return to Canada at any given moment, without warning,” Trudeau said.
The prime minister said he and the country’s premiers had discussed a “number of different options” that could be imposed to further limit travel and keep Canadians safe.
Trudeau said more information on the potential restrictions would be provided in the coming days but did hint at the possibility of quarantine hotels.
