If youâre planning a trip from Canada this summer, itâs worth checking the federal governmentâs travel advisories, as they can give you an idea of what to expect. The Government of Canada regularly updates its travel advisories for different countries, giving tourists advice on possible safety risks, as well as immigration rules that they should be aware of. As Canadians prepare for summer travel, itâs important to check the risk levels at your layover or destination, as it could affect your travel plans. âThe Government of Canadaâs official source of travel information and advice, the Travel Advice and Advisories help you to make informed decisions and travel safely while you are outside Canada,â states the government. âCheck the page for your destination often, because safety and security conditions may change.â Travel advisories are updated based on the security and health situation in a country or region, and whether it can pose a significant threat to Canadians travelling or living there. Issues could include the threat of terrorism, civil unrest, war, rebellion, a natural disaster, political instability, or a health emergency. The government assesses risks in over 230 destinations worldwide, and risk levels are updated depending on the situation. Countries are assigned one of four risk levels: take normal security precautions, exercise a high degree of caution, avoid non-essential travel, and avoid all travel. Hereâs a look at how destinations are classified by risk level. AVOID ALL TRAVEL Canadians are advised not to travel to these countries, territories, or regions. And travellers who are already there are advised to leave if itâs safe to do so.

3 Dead, 149 Trapped Onboard: Track Cruise Ship With Suspected Deadly Virus Outbreak A luxury cruise ship carrying 149 passengers and crew is facing a suspected hantavirus outbreak that has already left three people dead. The vessel is currently anchored offshore near Cape Verde , the island nation in the central Atlantic off the west coast of Africa, as health officials rush to assess the scale of the outbreak. The MV Hondius is currently anchored offshore near Praia , the capital and largest city of Cape Verde. Ship-tracking data show the vessel anchored just off the coast on Sunday after transiting from Argentina, with its prior voyage originating near the Antarctic Peninsula . Track the virus-plagued ship. Hondius's operator, Oceanwide Expeditions, told BBC News that a Dutch husband and wife, as well as a German national, had died but did not reveal the cause of death. However, the Dutch company said hantavirus was confirmed in a 69-year-old UK national who is in intensive care in Johannesburg, South Africa. The main transmission risk of the deadly virus to humans is through infected rodent urine, droppings, saliva, or contaminated dust, especially in poorly ventilated areas. People can inhale contaminated particles when rodent waste is disturbed. Oceanwide Expeditions confirmed two other crew members on board " with acute respiratory symptoms, one mild and one severe. " "It is not entirely uncommon for rodents to hitch a ride on a ship, which would be one possibility ," Charlotte Hammer, assistant professor and infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Cambridge, told the UK Science Media Center. Hammer noted, "People having been infected when the ship last made port in Argentina is another possibility. The last possibility would be human-to- human transmission, which, particularly at scale, would be very unlikely." Bloomberg quoted the World Health Organization, which is "facilitating coordination between member states and the ship's operators for medical evacuation of two symptomatic passengers, as well as a full public health risk assessment and support to the remaining passengers on board." This is yet another reminder of why cruises are a terrible way to spend a holiday. Tyler Durden Mon, 05/04/2026 - 12:20
