Health authorities in Canada are reporting that over the last two weeks, several passengers from Jamaica have tested positive for COVID-19 on arrival at Pearson International Airport.
Since August 31, twenty-one flights from a variety of international destinations that landed at the airport had COVID-19 cases.
It was reported that infected persons were on Air Canada flights from Kingston on August 31 as well as September 2 and 4.
After weeks of mounting pressure, the federal government finally mandated in mid-March that international flights were only permitted to land at four airports in Canada in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19.
The rule did not apply to flights arriving from the United States, Mexico or the Caribbean.
