Hey can someone point me to the government policy for travelers with previous positive test? Have a family member who just tested positive and who goes to the USA for work, and they aren't good with teh intarwebz.
Let time I asked them they were trying to get a doctors note, which sounds different than I heard previously.

I still don't understand this policy. May I still travel with a positive result? wat

Can only use the positive result between 10 and 180 days from when you tested positive.

The US exemption is within 90 days vs 180 for Canada but they have the same requirements.

Thanks @90_Shelby , that explains it. A doctors note IS needed to enter the USA it seems.

If you recently recovered from COVID-19, you may instead travel with documentation of recovery from COVID-19 (i.e., your positive COVID-19 viral test result on a sample taken no more than 90 days before the flight’s departure from a foreign country and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel).

Good riddance. I'm sure most probably have their 180days infection exemption in hand anyway. Pointless.

I'm super happy that I just spent ~$700 on PCR Testing over the past 2 weeks to get the exemption. Yay!

They key is to get a flight at a cheap covid deal and not have the incremental testing costs.

Pcr testing is out at the end of the month. Supposedly they’ll drop it to antigen now.

Just re-booked vacay for the family. Will prob still have to pay for testing on arrival but that's the tax I get for travelling to a small country.

[haggis88]

I just booked the 3 of us over to Scotland for 2 weeks at the beginning of May

Calgary to Halifax to Glasgow with Westjet, flights still pretty empty 10 weeks to go

[2Legit2Quit]

Westjet has some stupid cheap tickets from Calgary to around Canada.

YYC to Toronto or Montreal for $110-150 round trip.

YYC to Van or Victoria for $100ish round trip.

Seems like it's outside of July and August but lots of dates available.
