Fully vaccinated Canadians will soon be exempt from having to quarantine for two weeks on returning from overseas.
Health Minister Patty Hajdu made the announcement during a news conference this afternoon, saying affected travellers will still have to take a COVID-19 test on arrival -- and stay in isolation until the test comes back negative.
The changes come as overall new cases of COVID-19 continue to fall, although death counts and those needing life-saving mechanical help remain stubbornly high in some cases.
