Canada to mandate temperature checks for airline passengers, Trudeau says

Canada will make it a requirement to take airline passengers’ temperatures before they fly and anyone with a fever will not be allowed to travel, Reuters reports.

“It’s an extra layer of safety to encourage those who might feel sick to stay home," he added.
