VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The Canadian government’s announcement it is dropping the requirement for vaccinated travelers to show a negative COVID-19 test result to enter the country was greeted with relief by tourism and business groups on both sides of the border Thursday. Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said tests will no longer be needed beginning April 1.

The antigen test replaced the more costly and time-consuming molecular test in February.
