Global News Channel on Youtube shows the interesting story.

Random COVID-19 testing for air travellers is making a comeback in Canada. 

Starting Tuesday, those arriving at the airports in Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto may once again be selected to be tested. 

The federal government says all testing will be completed outside of airports for unvaccinated people as well as those who are fully or partially vaccinated.

The testing will be completed either at an in-person appointment at select testing locations or via a virtual appointment for a swab test.
