“Now is not the time to travel,” the PM told Canadians. “If you have plans to head somewhere for the long weekend, cancel them.”

It’s not the first time he’s shared a message like this, previously urging people to cancel any upcoming trips or vacations both inside Canada and abroad.

In a series of follow-up tweets, Trudeau also shared information about re-entering Canada for “those who need to travel.”
