\u0027People are going to have to make their own risk assessment to determine if this is worth it for them or their family, or not.\u0022 — infectious diseases specialist Isaac Bogoch

Canada fulfilled the 27-member EU bloc’s criteria for a safe — or, perhaps more accurately, safer —country, including a “stable or decreasing trend of new cases” over the last 14 days compared to the previous 14 days, as well as the nation’s overall response to COVID-19, including testing and contact tracing, and the reliability of its data.

The lifting of European travel restrictions comes as Air Canada and WestJet are set to drop social-distancing seating and resume filling middle seats, a move that has unnerved B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix. “What I’d like to hear from Transport Canada, from Health Canada is do they agree with this,” Dix told a new conference on Monday.

We pose less of a threat to Europe. That doesn’t mean Europe doesn’t pose more of a threat to the average travellerCanadians avoid all non-essential travel outside of the country. Even travelling inside the country remains a challenge with public health restrictions and periods of quarantine. Visitors to Prince Edward Island, for example, must fill out an online declaration form ahead of their trip, bring a physical copy with them, and be prepared for health screening at point of entry.AdvertisementPeople with no or few symptoms can spread COVID-19 while still infectious.

Still level 3 advisory though... 2 weeks of unpaid quarantine upon returning. So nope.

No

Nein

Will travel insurance provide coverage? 🤔

JDAshleigh Why not just mandate a Covid test (assuming -ve result) or a 14 day qtine ? Then travel could resume with less risk and anxiety.

Absolutely if I want to go somewhere in Europe i certainly will

I want all the Americans who are coming into Canada to go

Absolutely. Let’s get the travel industry back from the brink. Except why do we have to quarantine for 14 days when we get back? Get a test and keep going.

No

Sure since the virus thing is a hoax, I say live!

Think I’ll wait. Thanks for the invite though.

I don't think anyone will be able to buy travel insurance that protects against Covid, so unless someone wants to take a real risk, don't bother

Absolutely not!

Waste of time and money.

Absolutely, of you want to and can afford it, time to start living

The EU is no longer a pleasant place to visit. They've been overrun by every radical left & right wing hate group there is.

I would if I didn’t have to quarantine for 14 days upon returning.

Trudeau will be the first!! Back to a climate conference or maybe a photo shoot in Davos? He will do absolutely nothing but read a couple of lines but his new dyed brown shoe polish hair will surely be a hit with the leather shoe fashionistas in Europe!

Yup

N O

No

Beach, casino, mask, cellar, first class? CHHHYAHHH!

Weird that it’s ok for a Candian to travel to the EU but yet are banned from travelling to PEI.

Just in time to spread the swine flu around. Wow the satanic illuminati NWO pieces of shit aren't being obvious at all.

nope, would it even be worth it? is anything open?

Nooo

Not w/o health insurance that covers Covid

Canada and China among countries on proposed EU travel list; U.S. notA proposed list of 15 countries whose citizens will be allowed to travel into the European Union includes Canada and China, but not the U.S. Canada should be on the list, as numbers are not the actual, as some testing centers are appointment only, and when you call to book appointment you will be asked if you have symptoms, if not then no appointment?!!. Lift them all you want keep this country shut down for at least 8months Um... Considering reports of a 'new virus with pandemic potential' within the last 12 hours in China...
