The Thompson Airport has begun enforcing preventative measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading in the area.

Masks or other face coverings will be mandatory inside the terminal, and hand sanitizer is available at all entrances.

Additionally, the terminal is only open to travelling passengers and tenants, and people not travelling will have to wait outside for pick-ups and drop-offs.

Failure to comply with these measures could result in being asked to leave the premises, and those who refuse to leave will have their name reported to Transport Canada and may face a fine of up to five thousand dollars.

If you’re feeling sick or experiencing flu-like symptoms, the airport asks that you stay home.
