I am more concerned about the London - YYZ route.

I dunno if it’s enough, but passengers from India and Pakistan will need a negative PCR test from their origin as well as from their stopover.

London International Airport? YXU? Why fly from London, Ontario to Toronto, Ontario?

Canada added to State Department 'do not travel' list

For the first time, the State Department added Canada to its "do not travel" list, which names countries that Americans should avoid for safety reasons.

Because the goal is to keep the variant out - not to pass judgement on whether a country managed COVID.

A touch rich. They are at a similar level of infection nationally. If they are advising against travel to Canada they should advise against travel to much of their own country.

There is nothing wrong with the US putting us on the quarantine list. It's a vast country and it's better to be safe than sorry. Clearly Ontario is in the midst of a serious crisis. I'm not offended at all, it makes sense to me.

Agreed, Ontario and Canada is clearly losing control of Covid. I’d shut the US border as well.

So, asking UT members, who’s received their first or second vaccine? Myself, 50 yrs old, I got the Moderna shot two weeks ago.

I got the AZ about a month ago

I've registered but in no panic to get it. Had covid in Nov and am not working so can isolate pretty well - although I am bored beyond belief. I will wait for my turn, am so glad that workers are getting their vaccines in the workplace now, long overdue!

I don't feel particularly slighted by the US doing that - nobody should be travelling in either direction unless absolutely necessary anyways. In the longer term, COVID maybe more of an issue in the US due to the higher level of vaccine hesitation/refusal than here in Canada - uptake has already slowed and it is not at all clear whether they will reach levels needed for herd immunity. I think we can expect about 85% uptake for adults here.
