The Canadian government has denied the team approval to play in Toronto amid the coronavirus pandemic. Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino announced the decision Saturday.
“Based on the best-available public health advice, we have concluded the cross-border travel required forregular-season play would not adequately protect Canadians’ health and safety. As a result, Canada will not be issuing a National Interest Exemption for the MLB’s regular season at this time.” Major League Baseball needed an exemption so that anyone entering Canada for nonessential reasons did not have to self-isolate for 14 days, as required. The US-Canada border is closed to nonessential travel until at least Aug. 21.
The Blue Jays were scheduled to start July 24 at Tampa Bay. Their home opener would have come five days later against Washington.
