Air travellers will soon need to have their temperatures checked before they're allowed to board planes in Canada, or to fly here.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledges there is no scientific evidence that temperature checks will detect cases of COVID-19.
But he says the measure is being adopted to encourage people who are sick to stay home.
Transport Minister Marc Garneau says the system will take time to set up with in-bound flights to Canada impacted first.
