Canada is slightly easing border restrictions enacted due to the coronavirus pandemic and will allow immediate family members of citizens or permanent residents to come to the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday.
Trudeau stressed anyone entering the country will be required to quarantine for 14 days or face serious penalties.
