The federal government has announced an exemption to the rules regarding non-essential travel. Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino says immediate family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be allowed to enter the country, with conditions. They must plan to stay in the country for at least 15 days. For people traveling from abroad, they must still have a valid visa or electronic travel authorization. All other public health care protocols including screenings at the border remain in place. That includes anyone under the exemption still having to self-quarantine for 14 days as soon as they enter Canada.
