Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced yesterday that the vaccination will apply to everyone who takes machines from Canadian airports or uses public trains in the country from October 30. An interview list for passengers on cruise ships is also being worked out. Similar regulations already exist in other countries – but not yet in Austria.
The new rules are part of a strategy by the Canadian government to increase the number of people vaccinated.
