TORONTO — Police say they have charged a man at Toronto Pearson International Airport after he allegedly used a fraudulent COVID-19 document.
International travellers arriving in Canada by air must provide health officials with a negative COVID-19 test result from the past three days.
They also must spend three days in a designated quarantine hotel before completing a 14-day period of self-isolation at home.
Peel Region police say they were contacted by a quarantine officer from the Public Health Agency of Canada early Sunday morning about an allegedly fake COVID-19 test document.
