Unvaccinated travellers may be banned from Canada for years

Those who are unvaccinated from Covid-19 may not be able to travel to British Columbia for the next few years, according to the province’s health minister.

“They’re going to have to be vaccinated against Covid-19 for the foreseeable future. I don’t mean weeks or months, I mean years,” British Columbia Health Minister Adrian Dix said during an interview with KING 5.

Canada reopened its borders to Americans for non-essential travel on 9 August.

In order to cross, they must provide proof of vaccination and a negative Covid-19 test taken within the last 72 hours.
