The head of a Canadian travel and tourism coalition is calling for a change in the country’s COVID-19 testing requirements following a recently announced policy shift in the United Kingdom.

Travellers also may be required to take an on-arrival test and isolate until the result is confirmed.must quarantine for 14 days on arrival, while unvaccinated foreign nationals are not allowed to enter Canada, except under certain circumstances such as for work.

Lab testing for COVID-19 has been overwhelmed following a large spike in cases in recent weeks, with provinces such as Ontario and Quebec limiting lab-confirmed PCR, or polymerase chain reaction testing to certain high-risk individuals and settings. "The community level is relying on rapid tests," Potter said. "We've got data that supports that travellers arriving and having to take a PCR test are having a positive test result of less than 0.5 per cent."
