Canada restricts travel from U.K. due to new strain of virus that causes COVID-19

The Trudeau government is restricting travel from the U.K. in an effort to prevent a new strain of the virus that causes COVID-19 from making it to Canada.

The move comes into effect at 12:01 a.m. Monday and doesn't apply to cargo flights or stops where passengers do not disembark.

A spokeswoman for Transport Minister Marc Garneau says more information will be released shortly.

The news, contained in a Notice to Airmen sent out by NAV Canada, comes after a closed-door meeting with members of the Incident Response Team.
