For almost a year, public health officials have urged Canadians to avoid all discretionary international travel due to COVID-19.

More recently, this advice has been ramped up to include vacations inside of Canada, too.

In a new video, officials reiterated that taking non-essential trips anywhere right now is a bad idea, even if the holiday is within Canada and no flights are taken.

“Now is not the time to travel,” reads a message from the video. This includes travel by air, sea and land, the clip explains.

The reminder comes as stricter travel measures continue to be implemented for travellers entering Canada.

Restrictions on incoming passengers now include additional COVID-19 tests and quarantine hotels, in addition to increased measures for people crossing Canada’s land borders.
