(ANSA) - NEW YORK, MARCH 17 - Stop the swab for travelers entering Canada.
The federal government announced it.
The new directive applies to those who are vaccinated and will come into effect on April 1st.
Previously, a negative homolecular rapid swab was required prior to arrival.
The federal government has also announced that it will carry out sample swabs on arrivals.
The tourism industry has been lobbying for some time to ease restrictions, especially the tampon requirement.
In fact, Canadian consumers have expressed frustration in particular over costs abroad, where a molecular swab can cost as much as $ 200.
