Mandatory random COVID\u002D19 testing resumes today for travellers coming in through Canada’s four major airports in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal.
But the actual tests will be completed outside the airports, either in an in-person appointment or via a virtual appointment for a swab test.
