To date, the virus is responsible for more than 789,000 infections and more than 20,000 Canadian deaths. While Canada has been lauded for its rapid response and tight restrictions, provinces and territories have been given some latitude by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to make decisions regarding the pandemic, especially as it affects travel within Canada. Some provinces, such as Labrador and Newfoundland have prohibited travelers from other parts of Canada for any reason, even to travel to and from work. Other provinces, such as British Columbia have discouraged inter-provincial travel, but have stopped short of banning travelers from other provinces.
