Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will be very cautious when it comes to reopening international travel.
He would not say whether he expects the Canada-U.S. border to reopen when a mutual ban on non-essential travel expires next week.
But rather he says preventing transmission of COVID-19 into Canada from other countries will be an essential part of preventing a second wave of the outbreak.
He says Canada will need to see a decrease in the number of new cases in the country, and will need to have the ability to detect and track new cases.
