Mainecat Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Canada to open border to fully vaccinated U.S. citizens on Aug. 9 TORONTO — Canada on Monday said it would begin to ease pandemic restrictions at the U.S.-Canada border next month, allowing U.S. citizens and permanent residents in the United States who are fully vaccinated with Canadian-authorized vaccines to enter for nonessential travel without quarantining. The decision, which takes effect on Aug. 9, follows months of criticism from U.S. lawmakers across the political spectrum, business groups and some travelers over what they said was an overly cautious approach to lifting curbs that have split families, battered the tourism sector and upended life in close-knit border communities. To be eligible for entry, fully vaccinated U.S. citizens and permanent residents must present a negative covid-19 molecular test taken within 72 hours of flight departure or arrival at a land crossing. They will also be required to upload proof that they have received a full series of an authorized coronavirus vaccine at least 14 days before departure to a Canadian government app. Read more: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/07/19/canada-us-border-open/?wpmk=1&wpisrc=al_news__alert-world--alert-national&utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=wp_news_alert_revere&location=alert&pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJjb29raWVuYW1lIjoid3BfY3J0aWQiLCJpc3MiOiJDYXJ0YSIsImNvb2tpZXZhbHVlIjoiNTk2ZDViYWFhZGU0ZTIwN2QyOTZhYmVlIiwidGFnIjoid3BfbmV3c19hbGVydF9yZXZlcmUiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53YXNoaW5ndG9ucG9zdC5jb20vd29ybGQvMjAyMS8wNy8xOS9jYW5hZGEtdXMtYm9yZGVyLW9wZW4vP3dwbWs9MSZ3cGlzcmM9YWxfbmV3c19fYWxlcnQtd29ybGQtLWFsZXJ0LW5hdGlvbmFsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YWxlcnQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249d3BfbmV3c19hbGVydF9yZXZlcmUmbG9jYXRpb249YWxlcnQifQ.aFO2EBwDBpFRK9iSj5PV9rOu049Ghv4h6ROFUtNUHfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure if Trump was still in the WH you would not have gotten the vaccine. You would have been following the likes of Biden, Harris and Cuomo saying its not trustworthy because it was done under Trump's Operation Warp Speed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Wait... Does the vaccine stop you from carrying the covids with you now? Good thing those Texas dems on the plane had their shots so they would be safe... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
