TORONTO (AP) — Canada will begin letting fully vaccinated U.S. citizens into Canada on Aug. 9, and those from the rest of the world on Sept. 7. Canadian officials say the 14-day quarantine requirement will be waived as of Aug. 9 for eligible travelers who are currently residing in the United States and have received a full course of a COVID-19 vaccine approved for use in Canada. Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said Monday a date for the U.S. to allow fully vaccinated Canadians to cross the land border isn’t yet known. Any Canadian can fly to the U.S.
As for the MV Coho ferry from Port Angeles, company officials say they are still sorting out official details on how the ferry border crossing will be handled. They don’t yet have a firm date for when the ferry will resume. The ferry has been idled in Port Angeles since March 2020.
