There is actually another thread on the Canadian board about testing in the US. Rapid ID Now tests are available at walgreens free of charge and Canadians are eligible according to Canadians who have done it or called.
Hopefully that will push our government to drop it before too long.
I would hope they'd reciprocate, but they haven't for a lot of other countries who fly in. Americans have been able to visit the UK for a months now if they are fully vaxxed and submit to testing and quarantine - guess who hasn't welcomed them to the U.S. in return?
Don't you think eg cruise lines will require full disclosure of both vaccines in their online check-in questionnaire? Failing to fully disclose health info usually means barred from boarding once you arrive at the ship. Headlines today that Norwegian, Princess, etc have deemed mixing/matching vaccines not acceptable to cruise on their ships when departing from a US port. We all hope this changes in the near future and decisions are based on science. But for now, over 1 million Canadians who followed our govt's insistence that we take the first available vaccine to protect our communities are barred from cruising on most ships.
Wow, this is pretty discouraging to read. What in the world is going on that we can't work together?? We have a trip booked for March, but can't afford to fly down and rent a vehicle. We really need this border to open!
I think it’s all political at the moment. First it’s the US pushing and pushing for it (supposedly, according to all the other articles) and now that Canada has opened the US won’t?
