Adiós al spring break 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.
