Negative COVID-19 test will soon be required at land border: Trudeau

PM says Canadians won't be turned away — but could face fines if they don't have a test result


QUOTES:

"As of February 15th, when you return to Canada through a land border, you'll need to show a 72-hour PCR test, just like air travel,....

The prime minister said border officers can't legally deny entry to Canadians, but those who show up without proof of a test could face fines of up to $3,000.

"What we can do is in cases of no test to show [is] apply a stiff penalty, a fine and demand and ensure a rapid and complete followup to make sure that they are getting tested, that they are being properly quarantined, that they are not putting at risk the safety of other Canadians by returning home without a clear negative test," Trudeau said."
