Of the four Canadian airports permitted to accept international flights, Toronto is still seeing the most arrivals with cases of COVID-19.
According to Health Canada’s transportation case tracking database, 21 flights from a variety of international destinations that landed at Pearson International Airport since Aug. 31 have had passengers who tested positive for coronavirus.
Anyone entering Canada is required to quarantine for 14 days. Essential workers such as airline pilots, flight crews and transport truck drivers are exempt from the mandatory quarantine rules.
While those in violation are subject to fines up to $750,000 and six months in jail, data from Health Canada reports no arrests in the 87,338 people investigated for potentially disregarding quarantine.
