International travellers coming back to Alberta will have to undergo thermal scan, isolation plan
Premier Jason Kenney announced Wednesday infrared scanners will be set up in the international arrival terminals at the Edmonton and Calgary international airports.
While travel into Alberta has dropped in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw said it's still causing new cases in the province, with most of the imported cases coming from the United States.“That is why it is so critical that anyone that is travelling respect that 14-day quarantine period when they return, because while we’re cautiously relaunching here and other places, COVID is still out there.
The government will help those who are unable to quarantine alone by providing a hotel room and per diems. It'll also follow up with all travellers within three days to ensure they are following public health orders and have the support they need.
