Canada will not extend ban on UK passenger flights

Ottawa, Jan 6 (Sputnik) Canada will not extend its ban on passenger flights from the United Kingdom when it expires later in the evening, Transport Minister Marc Garneau said during a press briefing on Wednesday.
The ban was originally introduced on December 20 and extended on December 23 to prevent the spread of a new strand of COVID-19 that originated in the UK.
"The ban on UK flights, which was going until midnight tonight, will lapse – it will no longer be applicable," Garneau said.
Garner explained his decision saying that a newly introduced directive, which obliges passengers to present a negative COVID-19 test result in order to board their flight, will mitigate the risk of new imported infections. The new directive comes into force on January 7.
