WATCH: NEW TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS ANNOUNCED! Put your Spring Break travels on hold. Now is just not the time to be flying, said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday as he announced Canada’s major airlines will suspend flights to sun destinations.

Returning travellers will need to get COVID tested on arrival, and isolate in a government approved hotel for 3 days while waitiing for results at the expense of the travellers, which is expected to be over $2000 dollars CAD.

“Canada’s air carriers are stepping up to protect Canadians,” said Trudeau. “The government and Canada’s main airlines have agreed to suspend service to sun destinations right away.”
