Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday March 16, 2020, he will close the country’s borders to anyone not a citizen or a permanent resident and asked all Canadians to stay home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Trudeau said that exceptions will be made for air crews, diplomats, immediate family members of citizens and citizens of the United States.
Canadians who need to get on a plane to return to Canada will be able to receive financial assistance to get home or temporarily have their basic needs covered while they wait to come back to Canada.
Trudeau told Canadians who were out of the country that “It is time for you to come home”
