Trudeau said there were a few designated exceptions including “air crews, diplomats, immediate family members of Canadian citizens and, at this time, US citizens.” That’s good news for any US citizens who live at the border and work in Canada.

CTV news reports that “anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19 will not be able to enter Canada.”
