January 7, 2021 ctn_admin

GlobeandMail – Most major Canadian travel insurers will not cover the cost of the new government-mandated COVID-19 tests for travellers looking to re-enter the country.

As of Thursday morning, the Canadian government will require all air passengers who are five years of age or older to test negative for COVID-19 before travelling from another country to Canada. As a result, airlines will deny boarding to anyone who doesn’t have documentation showing a negative test taken no more than 72 hours prior to a scheduled departure.
