Health Canada has confirmed that quarantine hotels in Canada will be sticking around for at least another month.

In a notice shared via Twitter on April 20, the federal agency confirmed that all of Canada’s current travel restrictions would be extended until at least May 21, 2021.

This includes all existing testing and quarantine measures for those arriving to Canada via air, as well as the mandatory three-day quarantine hotel stay that must be paid for by the traveller.

Although there are hefty penalties for failing to comply with current travel rules, some travellers continue to use Canada’s land borders as a way of avoiding a quarantine hotel stay.

This latest announcement comes on the same day that the Canada-U.S. border closure extension was confirmed, as well as the extension of Canada's international travel restrictions.
