Tough new rules for travelers kick in today.

Anyone arriving at a Canadian airport from abroad will have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test result taken within three days prior to departure.

This is in addition to new measures announced yesterday by the Ford government.

The Premier was at Pearson to announce a new pilot program that will offer free COVID-19 testing for arriving international travelers staying in the province for a minimum of two weeks.
