Canada extends COVID-19 measures for travellers from China to early April
Those rules, which were set to expire on Saturday, will now be extended until April 5, according to a statement provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
“Despite the data provided by China thus far, on-going gaps in data availability remain a significant concern,” Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said in the statement.“Extending these temporary health measures will provide time for new, reliable data sources to be made available and allow time for expected domestic waves in China to subside.”
China has been grappling with a surge in COVID-19 cases since lifting its “zero-COVID” public health measures late last year, allowing residents to travel both within and outside the country for the first time in nearly three years.The move led to tens of thousands of new cases per day, according to unofficial counts, the most severe of which overwhelmed Chinese hospitals.
The World Health Organization and several countries, including Canada, have pushed China to release more data, which Beijing has refused to do while accusing others of “politicizing” the pandemic.
