Canadian Health Minister, Jean-Yves Duclos was quoted as saying by Sputnik news agency that, “We are adding three countries to the list of these countries that we talked about last Friday, these are Malawi, Egypt and Nigeria. ”
Duclos added that all travellers coming from outside Canada, apart from the United States, would now be tested at Canadian airports for the novel coronavirus disease, regardless of vaccination status.
