Canadians looking to escape the cold winter and take a sunny beach vacation may want to do that sooner rather than later.
The Canadian government is considering more travel restrictions including a possible ban on international outbound travel.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the government is “always open to strengthening them as necessary,” reported CTV News. Trudeau was referring to restrictions that could be put into place regarding international travel.
The Canadian government is concerned over new strains of Covid-19 that have been found to be more contagious.
“We will continue to look at various variants, various geographies, and make sure we’re taking the right decisions and the right measures to keep Canadians safe,” the Prime Minister said at a press conference in Ottawa.
Canada is still experiencing record Covid-19 cases and authorities are concerned that the new variants could cause cases to spike even further.
The new variant is already in Canada with 3 new cases confirmed north of Toronto with no links to international travel suggesting that the variant is already spreading in the community.
On Thursday alone, authorities discovered 14 new cases of the variant in Ontario but admitted that very limited testing for the variant means the actual number of cases could be much higher.
Canada Has Implemented International Travel Bans Before
In December the Canadian government banned all outbound flights to Brazil and the UK over fears the new variant could make its way back to Canada. Although the bans have now been lifted, the government is considering new bans to help keep Canadians safe if needed.
