CF Members restricted to travel to Mexico? - ANSWERED

[trucker00]

Just recently, there was a CANFORGEN released restricting CF Members to travel to Mexico.  What are the chances this restriction will be lifted by August or by October?

Thanks

It's already been rescinded:  CANFORGEN 099/09 CDS 019/09 221706Z MAY 09

CURRENT TRENDS REGARDING H1N1 FLU VIRUS (HUMAN SWINE FLU), WITHIN MEXICO INDICATE THAT THE RISK OF CONTRACTING THE VIRUS HAS DECREASED AND THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE CASES REPORTED IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE BEEN MILD. AS OF MAY 18, 2009, THE PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY OF CANADA (PHAC) AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE (DFAIT) NO LONGER ADVISE AGAINST ELECTIVE OR NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL TO MEXICO. BASED UPON THIS NEW INFORMATION, THE RESTRICTIONS, AT REF B AND D, ON CF PERSONNEL (REG F, CLASS B AND CLASS C RESERVE SERVICE) FROM TRAVELLING TO MEXICO FOR NON-OPERATIONAL PURPOSES AND THE RECOMMENDATION, AT REF C, TO CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES AGAINST ELECTIVE OR NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL TO MEXICO ARE RESCINDED.

ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO LONGER ANY RECOMMENDATION FOR RESTRICTION OF TRAVEL TO MEXICO, ALL TRAVELLERS TO MEXICO ARE ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES RELATED TO H1N1 FLU VIRUS (HUMAN SWINE FLU), REF E REFERS, TO HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF INFECTION AND STAY HEALTHY.
