OTTAWA—The federal government is increasing the fine for air travellers who refuse to quarantine in a designated hotel for three days after arriving in Canada.
Travellers who had faced a $3,000 fine if they didn’t abide by the requirement will instead be liable for a $5,000 penalty starting on Thursday.
