Canada will not allow anyone displaying symptoms of the COVID-19 respiratory illness to board domestic flights or intercity passenger trains, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, the latest travel restriction aimed at curbing the coronavirus outbreak.

Trudeau’s government has long urged Canadians feeling ill to stay at home, but he told reporters at his daily press conference outside his residence that Transport Canada had now formalised travel rules as COVID-19 cases steadily rise.

Furthermore Canada’s domestic travel restrictions will take effect on Monday

Canada has confirmed 5,153 cases of coronavirus and 55 deaths, health officials said.
