WestJet Airlines said on Thursday it had denied 10 passengers from boarding a flight for lacking the proper test for the novel coronavirus, just after a Canadian government requirement that passengers show proof of a negative result before boarding took effect.
Faced with a mounting second wave of infections, Canadian Transport Minister Marc Garneau said last week that air travelers aged 5 and up would need to test negative for the coronavirus before boarding the plane, starting on Jan. 7.
