Canada will require travellers arriving from China from January 5 to provide evidence of a negative Covid-19 test result, taken no more than two days before their departure, to airlines prior to boarding.
The requirement applies to those aged two years of age and older and will also apply to those traveling from the Chinese territories of Hong Kong and Macau, the government said in a statement.

The government said it will reassess the measure after 30 days as more data and evidence becomes available.
