Canada isn't about to let the 14 day quarantine rule end just yet. Canadians who return from abroad will still be required to continue self-isolating for 14 days upon entry.

The strict mandatory quarantine rules for returning Canadians were first introduced on March 25 and originally due to expire at 11:59 p.m. ET Tuesday.

New reports have now suggested that the government will be announcing an extension of the emergency measures tomorrow.

"It is the intention of the government to continue the 14-day mandatory self-isolation under the federal Quarantine Act," said a senior government official, confirming the news to CBC.

Under the order, all returning Canadians are required to self-isolate in an adequate place for 14 days. They are also required to wear non-medical masks or face coverings while in transit, and forbidden to stop along their way home.

Once in isolation, travellers are asked to report any symptoms of COVID-19 to health officials.

Penalties for failing to comply with the Quarantine Act include a fine of up to $750,000 or prison.

It has not yet been confirmed how long the measures will be extended for.
