Trudeau suspende vuelos e impacta a México, El Caribe… y a Canadá

Desde el inicio del 2021, Canadá comenzó a exigir que todos los residentes y viajeros presenten una prueba negativa de Covid-19 antes de su salida a Canadá. Pero desde México, que forma junto a Canadá y Estados Unidos el tratado comercial T-MEC, y los países del Caribe no hay siquiera vuelos.

El primer ministro canadiense, Justin Trudeau, anunció las nuevas restricciones de viaje diciendo que todas las aerolíneas, incluyendo Air Canada, estuvieron de acuerdo en cancelar “todos los destinos del Caribe y México” hasta el 30 de abril.
