OTTAWA - COVID-19 restrictions at the border will remain in place for at least another month, the Public Health Agency of Canada reported Tuesday. The Canadian Airports Council has blamed massive customs delays across the country on the pandemic measures and insufficient staff. Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said Tuesday the COVID-19 public health measures at airports may have some impact on travel delays, but it’s not the only reason. Some European airports with no COVID-19 restrictions are also dealing with delays, he said. Public health officials have said repeatedly since the Omicron variant hit in late 2021 that the virus was more adept at transmitting between vaccinated people than its predecessors.
