Province Pushing Stricter Border Measures

The Premier wants Ottawa to do more to protect Canadians.

Doug Ford feels Canada should require travelers obtain a negative COVID-19 test before they arrive in the country.

In response, Public Safety Minister Bill Blair says Canada’s border controls are some of the strictest in the world and that more than 98% of COVID-19 cases in the country are the result of community transmission.

Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam notes the new variant has not yet been detected in Canada.
