The new testing program is aimed at all arriving international travelers.
Premier Doug Ford announced the move last Friday, and the testing order comes into effect today at Pearson International airport.
Ford sys Ontario's program will fill the gap between now and when a similar program announced by Ottawa gets up to speed in the coming weeks.
New federal restrictions forcing all travelers to quarantine at a government approved hotel for three days while they wait for their COVID test results could go into effect as early as Thursday of this week.
Air Canada, WestJet, Sunwing and Air Transat suspended service yesterday to Mexico and the Caribbean at the urging of the federal government.
The restriction will last until April 30th.
