Wow, those are stringent requirements.

Hmmm and to think here in New York State where Covid cases and Deaths are very high, the Governor just lifted all restrictions except for a few spots in and around New York City.

"We will also, in the coming weeks, be requiring nonessential travelers to show a negative test before entry at the land border with the US, and we are working to stand up additional testing requirements for land travel," Trudeau said.Looks like Canadians can still fly to the U.S. and other foreign places except the Carrib and Mexico? Wonder how long that will last? What about Costa Rica?

Canada has had nearly 20,000 deaths and 775,000 confirmed infections. I wonder how many of those are from out of country travel versus just one good ole Canuck infecting another. I think the cat is out of the bag, so trying to seal up that bag is more political posturing and less actual prevention.

They addressed that in the first sentence -- the new restrictions are meant to protect Canada from new variants:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday announced stricter restrictions on travelers in response to new, likely more contagious variants of the novel coronavirus

I guess the factual answer to your question on how many came from out of country travel is "All of them."
