The Prime Minister will announce that it will be mandatory that travelers at their own expense, stay in a hotel upon arriving into Canada. Airline service from Mexico and The Caribbean Will be suspended until April 30th. The airlines affected are Canada, WestJet, Sunwing, and Air Transat. Incoming flights must land at the following four airports: Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal.
