Canada now requires vaccination on trains and planes | Abroad

Passengers 12 years and older must be fully vaccinated on trains, airplanes and cruise ships within Canada. The arrangement will take effect from the end of this month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his deputy announced.

To travel, you must be vaccinated, Trudeau summed up the new rule. It is not the time for half measures when it comes to preventing new lockdowns for everyone, he went on to say. It also prevents the minority of vaccine opponents from “sabotaging Canada’s economic recovery,” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said.

Government employees include employees of the national government, agents and military personnel. It is estimated that it concerns about 300,000 people. Trudeau had already announced the commitments during the recent election campaign, which he won.
