Here's What Happens If You Sneak Into Canada During a Pandemic.

 

Turns out Canada’s not that nice.

American citizen John Pennington is facing up to a $568,000 fine for twice violating quarantine orders while driving through Canada, apparently while attempting to exploit a loophole in Canada’s COVID-19 border policy. As has been the case since March 20th, the United States and Canada have jointly restricted all non-essential travel across its borders. While there are exceptions for trade, commerce and work, the policy is pretty clear (and it was extended and updated on August 14th).

However, Americans (COVID-free, of course) can enter Canada if they’re traveling to Alaska … provided they don’t drive through national parks, leisure sites or tourism locations.
