Industry experts are expressing concerns that this week's confusion on the new COVID-19 vaccine mandate for truckers may leave some drivers, who were under the impression they would be exempt, stuck if they are already en route, or facing two weeks with no paycheque while undergoing quarantine.
In a joint statement, Canada's transportation, health, and public safety ministers said that Canada’s initial policy stands, requiring truckers coming into Canada from the U.S. to be fully vaccinated, or face PCR testing and quarantine requirements.
Despite the CBSA telling reporters on Wednesday that unvaccinated Canadian truck drivers arriving at the border would "remain exempt" from testing or quarantine requirements, the government says that information, provided by a spokesperson, was incorrect.
