I don't know but we just issued travel restrictions to the United States as it is now a Hot Spot for the unrestricted spread of the coronavirus which causes COVID-19.
Hopefully they're more sensible restrictions than the US policy that prohibits travel from most of Europe except the UK... but only for foreigners. If you're a US citizen, you're still perfectly welcome to go to Italy and come home with a few extra microbes to pass around a week after you return.
No idea what the policy for foreigners is, as that is a matter of Federal jurisdiction. And our Prime Minister is currently in "self-isolation" apparently.
The word for anybody who designs a network firewall with that sort of logic is "pwned". Just sayin'.
These are Provincial policies. The Federal Government cannot prohibit Canadian citizens from entering Canada but the Province is in charge of matter of Health and Civil Rights, so as soon as they enter the Province from outside Canada they are "requested" to self-isolate for 14-days. This is for citizens. Don't know what the policy is for non-Canadians.

has a good contingency plan)
Yeah, sounds like a plan. -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
