World News: Canada scraps advisory to avoid foreign travel, cites Covid-19 vaccination success – Gulf Digital News

OTTAWA: Canada has scrapped an official advisory urging its citizens to shun non-essential foreign travel, given the successful campaign to inoculate people against Covid-19, the country's top medical officer said on Friday.

The warning was issued in March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic erupted.

Ottawa removed the advice to avoid unnecessary travel late on Thursday and reverted to its usual practice of issuing notices for individual countries.
