December 21st According to report by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on the 21st, Canada announced the grounding of flights from the United Kingdom and taking concerted measures with other European countries to prevent the further spread of new coronavirus variants from the United Kingdom.

Bill Blair, Canada’s public security minister, said on Twitter that the ban will initially last for 72 hours and can be extended or strengthened later.

The report quoted a notice issued by Transport Canada, saying that all commercial and private passenger flights from the United Kingdom will be banned from entering the country from midnight local time on the 20th.

For security reasons, the restriction does not apply to cargo flights. Canadian cabinet members and senior government officials made the above decision after a meeting on the afternoon of the 20th local time.
