FOG BLOG CANADA LOG: FULLY VACCINATED AMERICANS ALLOWED INTO CAN. AUG 9TH, BUT NO RECIPROCATION !

Fully vaccinated tourists will soon be able to visit Canada again....Fully vaccinated U.S. citizens can enter Canada Aug. 9, other travellers Sept. 7..... THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ON THE OTHER HAND HAS NO PLANS AT THE MOMENT TO ALLOW FULLY VACCINATED CANADIANS TO CROSS INTO THE U.S......The Canadian government shut its border to foreign travellers and implemented strict measures for non-essential workers in March 2020. The federal government announced today it plans to let fully vaccinated tourists visit Canada again soon.

Ottawa now says that — starting Aug. 9 at 12:01 a.m. ET. — fully vaccinated U.S. citizens and permanent residents living in that country will be able to visit Canada without having to quarantine for two weeks.

The government said it then plans to open Canada's borders to fully vaccinated travellers from all other countries on Sept. 7.

Officials also announced today that as of Aug. 9, children under 12 — who aren't yet approved to receive a vaccine — will be exempt from the quarantine requirement after entering Canada and can move around with their parents if they follow public health measures.

But those children are advised to avoid group settings such as school, camps and daycares — especially indoor ones.
