Ottawa is extending a slew of travel restrictions and rules meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic into the new year as case counts continue their steady rise across the country.
Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and Health Minister Patty Hajdu say the rules, first imposed near the beginning of the global outbreak, will now be in effect until Jan. 21, 2021 for travellers entering Canada from a country other than the United States.
The ministers say restrictions for visitors crossing the border from the U.S. are currently in place until Dec. 21, but may be extended.
