OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is closing its borders to most people who are not citizens or permanent residents to slow the spread of COVID-19.
The federal government is mandating air carriers to screen passengers with symptoms of the novel coronavirus out of lines so they don't board planes home.
He says the country is taking "increasingly aggressive steps" to keep everyone safe.
