The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed its cautionary rating on Canada to Level 4, indicating very high COVID-19 levels

, warning against trips north at a time that Omicron infections are spreading rapidly on both sides of the border.

The advisory is an alert that does not involve the reimposition of border restrictions, leaving Americans free to travel to Canada if they can meet entry requirements, which include costly PCR tests. The Canadian government has also advised against all non-essential international travel. “As it is, we are on the cusp of losing our third summer tourism season,” said Perrin Beatty, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.Canadian airlines say weather, not staffing shortages due to COVID-19, are behind post-holiday delays

Canada’s business establishment has been frustrated by a lack of co-ordination on management of the border, which has created differing requirements for northbound and southbound traffic. The Canadian government intends to require proof of vaccination from cross-border truckers beginning this Saturday, although estimates show that will likely keep 5 per cent to 10 per cent of drivers out of the country at a time of widespread disruption to supply chains.

In October, a task force for the Wilson Center issued a report on the effectiveness of the border measures, first imposed in March, 2020, that restricted non-essential travel between the two countries. Canada eased those restrictions last summer. The task force, which included former deputy prime ministers Anne McLellan and Jean Charest, criticized governments for turning a deaf ear to the public as they imposed restrictions.

She, too, expressed concern about the U.S. advisory, since Canada maintains a stricter COVID-19 entry regime than the United States.

Good - stay at home in the US

This CDCgov advisory is beyond-ludicrous. BS like this further undermines the credibility of gov't agencies on COVID19 ... people with even half-a-brain should & will ignore it. And, as usual, Canada's feckless liberal_party government sits on its f'ing hands.

because the vaccines don't work in any high vacccinated country Maybe the vaccines breaks a persons immune system Isreal is up to injection 4 and it is horrible with covid Canada loves Isreal's 24/7 vaccine jab's and endless injections with added Oppression fake science

Didn’t they just report 1.4M cases today. 🙄

And bc of our tyrannical gov’t

Funny! 🇺🇸 is more like a ThirdWorldCountry with its former DomesticTerroristInChief, current insurrectionists in Congress/Senate, ramped Covid everywhere? 400K+

Yaay

LMAO

Yes, please stay out.

Except, the US isn't faring too well, either, so the border closure isn't going to make an iota difference.

This is how it's done comrades!! You are the tip of the spear now! Truthiness is the new fear porn Attaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

wow, they should look at the mirror before making this recommendation

but yeah lets send the kids back when there are literally no more ambulances left and absolutely nothing has changed inside those buildings to make them safer
