Does this include international travelers? Is it legal to prevent someone from going back to their country if they are not vaccinated? What about incoming passengers? Are they going to have ties with all incoming airlines to check vaccination status?
- fortran77 5y ago> Is it legal to prevent someone from going back to their country if they are not vaccinated? I think that all depends on the country. I'd imagine it would be some variation of requiring a test and a quarantine.
- ghaff 5y agoLegal is what the government of a given country says is legal. My understanding is that New Zealand for example allows returning travelers but they have to stay in designated quarantine hotels and those are basically unavailable.
- azth 5y agoI meant the scenario where a Canadian resident but non-citizen wants to return to his country, but he's not vaccinated. Is the Canadian government going to prevent him from boarding a plane?
- ghaff 5y agoI would think almost certainly. And that's an issue they'll probably have to take up with their embassy if the airline can't make an exception.

- amarshall 5y agoPreventing someone from leaving and preventing someone from leaving by commercial airline or train is not the same thing. The U.S. does a similar thing where they might instruct airlines to prevent boarding at a foreign airport as that’s not a U.S. border and a citizen only has the irrevocable right to re-enter at an actual border. Ultimately, legal is whatever the laws of the country you’re in say plus whatever aid your embassy is able to coax out of them. That said, I don’t have answers to your specific questions about these rules.
