Covid-19 Air travellers from China, Hong Kong and Macao will be required to present a negative test before departing for Canada

All air travellers who are two years of age and older, arriving on flights originating from the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong or Macao, will need to provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 test result taken no more than two days before their departure, to the airline before boarding. This rule will go into effect on January 5, 12:01 a.m. EST.

The test could be either a negative molecular (such as a PCR test) or a negative antigen test with documentation showing that a telehealth service or an accredited laboratory or testing provider has monitored it.

Passengers who tested positive more than ten days before their departure flight, but no more than 90 days, can provide the airline with documentation of their prior positive in place of a negative test result.
