What are the current travel and COVID-19 situation implications for Canadians returning from Thailand?
Alas, it's time for me to leave this beautiful "developing country" that has attributed fewer than 200 deaths to COVID since it began and return to "first world" Canada, where the virus is running rampant and almost everything is locked-down, locked-up, and/or canceled. I will miss Thailand and I appreciate all of you in this group who helped me with several needs during my time here. I hope when I return, things will be more like "normal" pre-2020 days again.

Pretty much..as of yesteray 45 of our 76 provinces have a mandatory mask law. 4000 baht fine.
Thats 2 wks pay for ave Thai. Already out of work, cant afford masks as the pollution magnifies the need for fresh ones, punish the poor.

OPIt's a disaster. Canada is now outpacing the USA for new cases per capita, and the vaccine rollout has been terribly mismanaged. Yes, I have to quarantine for 14 days, 3 at an approved hotel.
