Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday that he will be increasing travel restrictions in Canada for anyone showing symptoms of coronavirus.
As of
Monday at noon,
people showing any signs whatsoever of COVID 19 will be denied boarding on all domestic flights and intercity passenger trains," Trudeau announced.
Officials have encouraged people to stay home, especially if they are developing or have developed symptoms of the virus, Trudeau said.
"You need to stay home, you need to isolate, you need to not travel," he said.
Trudeau added that while Canadians have been largely respecting the travel restrictions, the additional restriction will help "formalize some of the domestic travel rules."
