Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says every case of COVID-19 coming in from abroad is a case too many.
He says new restrictions on travel are coming and is urging Canadians to cancel all travel plans they may have.
He says that includes cancelling travel abroad and travel to other provinces.
Trudeau notes that while the number of new cases linked to travel remains low, the bad choices of a few won't be allowed to put others in danger.
He's also announcing new government-backed loans for businesses to help them cope with ongoing economic fallout.
