Canada is dropping the COVID-19 testing requirement for air travellers from China, Hong Kong, and Macau that went into effect after the Beijing regime announced a sudden reopening of China’s borders in January.
The temporary pre-departure testing requirement will be dropped as of 12:01 a.m. EDT on March 17, 2023, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said in a statement on March 16.
