Trudeau Closes Canada’s Border to Non-Citizens or Permanent Residents Over Coronavirus

The coronavirus has forced Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to close the borders to all except a few people.

But I thought closing borders is racist?

From CBC:

There will be exceptions for air crew, diplomats, immediate family members of citizens and, “at this time,” U.S. citizens, Trudeau said.The prime minister also said no one who is displaying symptoms will be permitted to board a flight to Canada, and that air operators will be required to complete a basic health assessment of every passenger based on guidelines from the Public Health Agency of Canada.”I know this news will spark concern among Canadians travelling abroad. I want to assure you than our government will not leave you unsupported,” he said.”To help asymptomatic Canadians to return home, our government will set up a support program for Canadians who need to get on a plane. Canadian travellers will be able to get financial assistance to help them with the costs of returning home or temporarily covering basic needs while they wait to come back to Canada.”As another measure to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, Trudeau said international flights will be funnelled to airports in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver to enhance screening.
