Canada’s ban on flights arriving from the United Kingdom is being lifted, as a new rule that requires all passengers entering Canada to take pre-boarding tests goes into effect today.
The measure was first announced on Dec. 31, 2020, and goes into effective at midnight Jan. 7. All travelers must now present proof of a negative COVID-19 test result taken within 72 hours before boarding a plane to Canada, according to a statement of the interim order from Transport Canada.
