Ontario to Implement Travel Restrictions, Manitobans Advised to Review Travel Plans to Ontario Carefully
The Manitoba government is aware of new travel restrictions into Ontario, starting Monday, April 19 at 12:01 a.m.
The Ontario government is introducing checkpoints at all of Ontario’s interprovincial borders limiting access at Ontario’s borders with Manitoba and Quebec.
Access will be limited to essential travel only including essential workers and anyone travelling for medical care, transportation of goods and exercising Indigenous treaty rights.
People without a valid reason for entering Ontario will be turned back.
The Ontario orders note that individuals can only travel to Ontario to visit a principal residence, or to respond to a critical incident including travel to prevent damage to property. For more information, visit www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/r21293.
At this time, Manitobans are strongly discouraged from all non-essential travel. This includes within the province and interprovincially due to the highly contagious variants of concern.
As per current provincial public health orders, 14 days of self-isolation is required for all individuals entering or returning to Manitoba. This includes all Manitoba and non-Manitoba residents. Consider travel plans carefully.
