Canada Extends Corona Control for Entrants from China

Mandatory submission of negative confirmation by April 5

The federal government has extended the mandatory pre-inspection, which is being implemented as a corona quarantine measure, to April 5 for those arriving by air from China.

From the 5th of last month, the federal government made it mandatory for travelers from China, Hong Kong, and Macau to submit a corona negative confirmation before boarding the aircraft, scheduled for a month.

Pre-screening and negative confirmation are applied regardless of nationality or vaccination status of entrants, and entrants transiting through Canada are also included.

Regarding the extension of quarantine measures, the government said it was a decision for ‘preemptive prevention’ and said, “As additional data and evidence are secured, we will continue to check whether it will continue.”
