Reply to comment by sync-centre in Canada will require COVID-19 testing for flights from China as virus surges | Globalnews.ca by EternalPinkMist

The spread of infection will happen regardless, there is no point in banning travel from all locations until that area is also extremely infected. Its not about stopping all infections, it's about stopping as many as possible.

Would Canada gain more infections directly from China, a country that gives us a huge percentage of tourists, exchange students, etc, or would it gain more infections from Chinese who visit another nation where its citizens rarely travel to Canada?

Canada probably gets more travelers from the US and covid is still spreading there. They are not stopping travelers from the US crossing the border.

The difference between the US and China is Chinese spread is approx 66% of canadas population a day, as compared to American which is at about 0.001% of our contried population a day
