TeeRick Posted March 16, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2022 It seems like the world is slowly switching from pandemic to endemic mode. Living with the virus. It will be a public health management strategy using vaccines and anti-viral drugs for many years to come. It is about time IMHO. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homosassa Posted March 17, 2022 #19 Share Posted March 17, 2022 All reports I have seen (TV or new papers) have said that it is expected the Canada entry test requirement will be no longer required after April 1. However, it is just speculation at this point. I have also been on the official Arrive Canada website this morning and there is nothing about the deletion of the test requirement on April 1. Until it is official and on the Canadian government website, I am still planning on testing for testing before entry into Canada (6/24 cruise).

Rare Jim_Iain Posted March 17, 2022 #21 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I was just checking the Official Canadian Government Travel Site https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/exemptions They indicate that even if testing has been eliminated travelers will have to file an Arrival Canada Registration using a fee App prior to arrival I would think all travelers flying into Vancouver will require this but wondering if Celebrity will prepare for all those arriving by sea. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/arrivecan.html?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=travel-mktg-toolkit&utm_content=en&utm_campaign=hc-sc-covid-21-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the most recent protocols, testing is still required to board a ship sailing from Canada. Perhaps it will just be a little simpler for all of us.
