Patty Hajdu said: "It is important that we continue to have robust measures to protect against importation as we see provinces and territories around this country struggle to protect their citizens, Canadians, through the third wave,"

Doug Ford said: “It makes sense to pause travel from that region while our scientists and researchers better understand the variants of interest," Hajdu said. There are than 1 million people who live in Canada who have Indian descent. There are 100,000 Canadians who have Pakistani ancestry. Canada does not have any direct flights from Brazil where cases are also surging. Vaccinations have ramped up in Canada, but health experts say more-contagious variants and a failure to take the right measures against the virus have led to a third wave of infections in Ontario. The premiers of Ontario and Quebec asked the federal government to further restrict people from entering. Ontario Premier Doug Ford, meanwhile, apologized Thursday for a failed attempt to close playgrounds and allow police to stop and question people who were not in their homes — measures that created a backlash from police forces, health officials and the public. The leader of Canada’s most populous province, in his first public appearance since announcing the restrictions, said his government had moved too fast with the measures. "They left a lot of people angry and upset. I know we got it wrong. I know we made a mistake and for that I’m sorry and sincerely apologize,”
