Canada closed its borders to foreign nationals, except Americans. All international flights will soon be routed to one of four airports where returning Canadians will be screened and told to self isolate for 14 days. All Canadians abroad are asked to return home while still possible. Bars and restaurants are asked to close or take out only. Night clubs, movie theaters, music venues are also asked to close. Reduced hours for malls. jury trials are on hold, libraries closed.

81 new cases today in Canada, up to 441, 3 new deaths.

Italy really opened eyes around the world and it sadly looks like the death toll in Italy will surpass that in China before the end of the week.

Hmm.  My son's Canadian girlfriend just flew in Saturday night.   I need to ask of they had a contingency plan in case this happened.

It's more of a warning as the government expects international flights might soon be hard to get.

Anyway, your profile shows you're in the US. For now (today, things move so fast) there are no plans to close the US - Canada border. Flights from the US still can land anywhere. But she might have to self isolate upon returning :/
