TORONTO -- As provinces and countries continue to ease lockdown restrictions, many Canadians contemplating a summer trip are wondering what a potential holiday amid the pandemic could look like.
Canadians can currently travel to Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. without having to self-isolate for 14 days. Those looking to visit Manitoba and Nova Scotia may be required to self-isolate, depending on which part of the country they are travelling from. Nunavut and the Northwest Territories remain off-limits to travellers from all provinces, except residents of Churchill, Man., who are permitted to enter Nunavut. The two territories have established a travel bubble and its residents can visit one another without self-isolating, as long as they haven't left their territory in the two weeks prior to their trip.
The Bahamas, Bermuda and Aruba are also open to Canadian travellers, but require them to take a COVID-19 test and submit the result upon arrival. Only those with negative results will be allowed in. Joan Weir, the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association’s director of health and disability policy, told CTVNews.ca that travel insurance is available through some companies but does not cover trip disruptions related to COVID-19.
While Canadians can travel to some areas within and outside of the country, some people may still not be ready to get on an airplane.
