Anyone who is not a Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident, US Citizen, Diplomat, or Flight Crew will be blocked from the country.
Justin Trudeau has announced that Trudeau will close the border to all non-Canadian Citizens.
The government also says anyone who presents symptoms will be banned from boarding a plane to Canada – including Canadian Citizens.
There will be exceptions to the ban. Canadians without symptoms will get support to return if necessary. US Citizens, Canadian Permanent Residents, Flight Crew, and Diplomats can be exempted from the overall ban.
International flights will be funneled to four airports.
The restrictions will not apply to goods, allowing the economy to continue functioning.
