Canada to resume mandatory, random COVID-19 testing of incoming travellers at 4 major airports next week
Ottawa paused the random testing of those entering Canada by air on June 11, as part of its strategy to transition to testing incoming travellers outside of airports.
The government now says testing will resume as of July 19 for fully vaccinated travellers arriving at the Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto airports. It says all testing will be completed outside of airports for unvaccinated people as well as those who are fully or partially vaccinated. The testing will be completed either at an in-person appointment at select testing locations or via a virtual appointment for a swab test.
Travellers who are not fully vaccinated must test on both the first and eighth days of their mandatory 14-day quarantine, unless exempt.
