AHS statement on enforcement of travel restrictions

January 29, 2021

There is a lot of information in social media today about international travel.

However, these are the details on Alberta Health Services’ role in international travel border pilot enforcement: AHS has no involvement in travel restrictions or enforcement measures related to mandatory quarantine.

Requirements, including isolation orders and public health orders for travellers entering Canada through Alberta, are set out by the Federal Government and enforced by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Public Health Agency of Canada.

AHS has no authority or responsibility for detainment. We are a healthcare delivery organization.
