TORONTO — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday he will close the country's borders to anyone not a citizen, an American or a permanent resident — and even they have to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival — due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Trudeau said the exemption for Americans, despite the rapid rise of cases in the U.S., was due to “the level of integration of our two economies." The U.S. accounts for 75 percent of the country's exports. Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, said the damage to both the U.S. and Canada would be immense if they shut their borders to each other.
Story continuesBarbara Wills, a 67-year-old real estate agent from Calgary who has been living and working in Ajijic, Mexico, for 17 years, said she knew of about a half-dozen Canadian snowbird couples who were “panicking” and leaving the area a month earlier than planned. She has no plans to leave for home.
The government is restricting overseas flights to just four airports in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver, and mandating airlines to screen passengers for symptoms of the virus before allowing anyone to board a plane.
