ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO – Pandemic restrictions on travel between Canada and the U.S. began to loosen Monday (7/5) for some Canadians, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said plans to totally reopen the border would be announced over the next few weeks.

Canadian citizens and permanent residents who have had a full dose of a coronavirus vaccine approved for use in Canada can skip a 14-day quarantine that has been a requirement since March 2020. Eligible air travelers also no longer have to spend their first three days in the country at a government-approved hotel. Restrictions barring all nonessential trips between Canada and the United States, including tourism, will remain in place until at least July21.

Trudeau said the easing of the rules marks a 'big step' toward reopening the border.

Although Sinovac is approved by the WHO, it is not on the Health Canada approved list. If you got vaccinated in Mexico with the Sinovac, You must isolate for the 14 days. I do not know if the first 3 days  in an isolation hotel is still required.

Mexico's death rate currently is 8.8 percent down from a high of 12.4. Where is this .02 percent death rate. In your dreams? LOL

The case fatality rate isn't as high as it was, but that is thanks to people being vaccinated. But that is probably not the point: the hundreds of thousands of people with ongoing disabilities as a result of having survived an infection without a vaccine is perhaps more relevant.
