OTTAWA--Canada on Thursday said it would rescind its ban on
cruise ships operating in Canadian waters, effective Nov. 1, as
long as cruise operators adhere to the country's public-health
conditions.
The ban on cruise ships in Canadian waters wasn't supposed to
expire until February of next year.
"As the outlook of the Covid-19 pandemic continues to improve,
Canada looks forward to having a cruising season in 2022," the
Canadian government said in a statement.
The seven-day average of new, confirmed Covid-19 cases in Canada
has plummeted over 90% after reaching a mid-April peak during a
third wave of infections. Furthermore, Canada's vaccination rollout
moved into a higher gear starting in June, and the country now
leads the developed world in partially vaccinated citizens, and is
nearly on par with the U.S. in terms of the share of the population
fully vaccinated, according to the University of Oxford's Our World
in Data.
