The Government of Canada advised Canadians not to travel for non-essential travel. At a press conference, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos alongside other federal ministers announced that the government was planning to continue to increase testing passengers at the borders. The Minister said that as the number of Omicron cases increases, the Government gets more “concerned that Canadians will be stranded abroad because of the rapidly evolving measures that other countries may put in place, and also because of the significant risk of catching this variant, this virus while travelling abroad.”
