Canadians visiting in March/April/May - Concerns About a Positive Test?

Does this mean no testing required if your vaccinated but you may randomly be selected at the airport for a test? But you just go home and wait for the results?

As of February 28, 2022 at 12:01 a.m. EST:

• We will be easing the on-arrival testing for fully-vaccinated travellers. This means that travellers arriving to Canada from any country, who qualify as fully vaccinated, will be randomly selected for arrival testing. Travellers selected will also no longer be required to quarantine while awaiting their test result.

No. They are only saying here that they are eliminating what was previously mandatory testing on arrival for travellers from certain countries even if they were fully vaxxed, and quarantine while waiting for results. That didn't apply to those travelling from the US, but you could still be randomly selected, and if so, you'd have to quarantine while waiting. Now, if you are fully vaxxed, no matter where you are coming from you will only face a possibility of getting randomly selected for testing but then you don't have to quarantine.

The pre-arrival testing is still a thing, though now it's PCR/molecular test within 72 hours, or antigen test within 24 hours.
