Canada joined several European nations in halting flights from the U.K. on Sunday in an effort to prevent a new, more contagious strain of the coronavirus from spreading to this country.
CBC News obtained a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by Transport Minister Marc Garneau stating that all commercial, private and charter flights transporting passengers from the U.K. will be suspended indefinitely as of midnight tonight. The restriction doesn't apply to cargo flights, aircraft landing for safety reasons or flights that land for technical stops where no passengers disembark.
The notice said the minister "is of the opinion it is necessary for aviation safety and the protection of the public, to prohibit the [operations] of commercial air ... from the United Kingdom for the transport of passengers on an inbound [flight] to Canada."
The NOTAM will be in place for 72 hours while officials assess the situation and determine appropriate measures going forward, according to a government spokesperson speaking on background.

Pathetic
Possibly more bodies for your cart.
Who didn’t see this coming? Continuing the hysteria lock downs and control for the great reset
Are they going to stop flights from China?
What a bunch of racists those Canadians, Ey? Denying folks free travel where ever and when ever they want.
Define “more contagious”. Quantify it. You know, with science. I wanna know
Well, there goes this summer’s European vacation.
Pathetic indeed......and yet they all went after Pres. Trump when he did likewise. I frankly don’t care about Europe or anyone abroad anymore. Sink or swim because they’ve said nor done anything for this country except complain and bellyache!
Then Dr. Fauci will proclaim we are all doomed, all over the world, with dark days ahead. Ask him. /S
Just like you can’t stop the signal
You can’t stop the virus strain
Release the Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin protocols. A cure is better than a dangerous vaccine any day.
Tell Clark Griswold. Maybe he can switch to going out to visit his brother-in-law and help him sell live bait.
70% more transmissible.
...... HAHAHA .... Trudeau Pulls a French Canadian Trump .... Banning Flights from ... well .... The UK ....
Yeah, that’ll work.
/s
Ah...much like the regular flu.
Maybe that’s all this “new strain’ truly is.
No, it is SARS-CoV-2 202012/01 VUI and quite distinct from influenza.
Sure, it is.
This has to be fake news!
Everyone is wearing their mask, protecting everyone else from getting the Flu, that’s why there will never be a second wave.....
Oh wait, never mind
