Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that beginning at midnight, travellers must have an adequate quarantine plan when they arrive in Canada or they will be forced to stay at a quarantine facility, like a hotel, for 14 days.
Plans that are not deemed appropriate include intentions to stay in a place where there are many elderly people or not having a set destination, if they have been outside of the country for many years.
Trudeau also commented on the significant impact COVID-19 has had on long-term care homes, stressing that it is particularly important to keep this vulnerable population safe.
