"Travelers should avoid all travel to Canada," reads the CDC’s advice, noting that the current situation puts "even fully vaccinated travelers" at risk of getting and spreading COVID-19 virus variants.

“If you must travel to Canada, get fully vaccinated before travel,” it adds, urging anybody travelling to wear a mask, wash their hands and avoid crowds.

The U.S. health agency’s travel advice was updated on April 2 to include recommendations for fully vaccinated travellers.
