예고했던대로 캐나다 입국자는 공항에서 PCR 검사를 하고

3일간 $2000 정도의 자비로 호텔 격리를 한 뒤 음성일 경우 자가격리 14일을 

시행해야 하는 날짜가 정해졌습니다

오늘, 2월 12일 금요일 2월 22일 (월요일) 부터 시행한다고 트뤼도가 발표했습니다

Air travellers landing in Canada will have to quarantine in a hotel, at their own expense, starting Feb. 22, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday.

The enforcement date comes two weeks after the federal government said air travellers returning from non-essential trips abroad will have to isolate in a federally mandated facility for up to 72 hours while they await the results of a polymerase chain reaction test, commonly known as a PCR test.

Health Minister Patty Hajdu said travellers will need to book a hotel in the city in which they first arrive in Canada, either Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto or Montreal. Hotel booking information will be available online as of Thursday.

Those with a negative result on their arrival test will be able to take a connecting flight to their final destination.

"Costs of these hotel stays may vary slightly at each location. It is up to the traveller to choose where they wish to stay and book in advance of departure," said Hajdu.

"The price will include costs associated with the room, food, cleaning, infection prevention and control measures, and security as well as transportation."

Trudeau has estimated the potential cost of the three-day quarantine hotel stay at $2,000.

The testing requirement is in addition to the mandatory 14-day quarantine period for returning non-essential travellers. The government has had travel restrictions on most foreign nationals in place since March 2020.

Changes at land border

Earlier this week, the prime minister announced that as of Feb. 15, non-essential travellers entering Canada through the land border will soon need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of arriving. Essential workers, such as truckers, emergency service providers, and those in cross-border communities, will be exempt from this requirement.

On Friday, officials clarified that land travellers can also provide proof of a positive test taken 14 to 90 days prior to arrival. 

Starting Feb. 22, travellers entering Canada at the land border will also be equired to take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival as well as toward the end of their 14-day quarantine.

Trudeau has said officers can't legally deny entry to Canadians, but those who show up without proof of a test could face fines of up to $3,000.

Conservatives seek exemptions for 'compassionate' travel 

Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said all travellers, whether arriving by land or air, will also be required to submit their travel and contact information, including their quarantine plan, electronically through the ArriveCAN app, before crossing the border or boarding a flight.

Conservative health critic Michelle Rempel Garner said Conservatives agree that it isn't the time for international leisure travel, but said there are many Canadians who should be granted exemptions to the hotel rule.

"The fact is many Canadians have essential reasons for travel. Those travelling to reunite with a spouse, an ailing relative or to access medical treatment should not be faced with what is an insurmountable barrier for many in these situations. Your government recognized this principle when you made an exemption for athletes, citing affordability concerns," she wrote in an open letter to Hajdu on Thursday.

Earlier this week, news emerged that the federal government has agreed to offer 750 Olympic and Paralympic athletes — along with members of their support staff — exemptions from some quarantine-related travel restrictions in the lead-up to the Olympics.

Rempel Garner is asking for exemptions for unaccompanied minors, family reunification, Canadians needing non-elective medical procedures abroad and others travelling on "compassionate" grounds.

"It is shameful to saddle those who must travel to support family and loved ones abroad affected by end-of-life or medical emergencies with a $2,000 bill. People who are travelling for this purpose should be allowed to quarantine at home, in compliance with pre- and post-arrival testing requirements," she wrote.

"As well, persons with work visas, international students, and missionaries deserve an opportunity to be consulted to develop a more sustainable solution than the lack of information and clarity that you have provided."
