JUNE 30: On this final day of June, We have no new positive cases of COVID-19

Be aware that COVID-19 is still circulating across the province, Canada and internationally. People may be planning summer air travel. This week, some airlines have announced they will be returning to filling all seats on their planes. With this decision, it is even more important for travellers to take responsibility to stop the spread. Travellers are asked not to travel if they, or someone they are traveling with, have any symptoms or feel sick. In addition, all air passengers are required to participate in a health check before boarding and have a removable, non-medical mask or face covering during travel.

The safest option is to stay close to home but if you choose to travel, check travel advisories and visit websites of provincial governments, local health units or authorities for destination(s) as there may be differences between provinces and communities. Monitor yourself for symptoms when you travel and when you return. If you get symptoms, even if mild, isolate where you are and seek assessment and testing. If you must travel outside of Canada, you will need to self-isolate for 14 days upon your return to Canada.
