Quarantine Act (Canada)

The Quarantine Act (Canada) is a law that aims to prevent the spread of infectious diseases into the country. It requires travelers arriving by air, sea, or land to report health concerns and may include health screenings, isolation, or other measures if there's a risk of contagious illness. The act also governs the transport of certain animals and goods to protect public health. Its goal is to detect and contain health threats early, ensuring Canada's safety while facilitating international travel and trade.
