The national public health agency says it’s “closely monitoring” the COVID-19 situation in China, but gives no indication it’s planning to follow the U.S. by requiring that travellers from China be tested for the virus.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says in a statement that any policy changes will be made in a travel health notice.
