– moneysense.ca
MONTREAL – Three of Canada’s largest airlines are allowing passengers to change bookings to destinations in Central and South America as well as parts of the Caribbean amid concern over the Zika virus.
The move by the Canadian carriers comes after several global airlines, including United Airlines and American Airlines in the U.S., announced they were offering refunds to passengers concerned about the virus, believed capable of causing serious birth defects.
The Public Health Agency of Canada has warned pregnant women to take precautions against mosquito bites when travelling to areas in Central and South America where there have been Zika outbreaks.
Since Zika became endemic in Brazil last year, about 4,000 infants have been born with small heads and underdeveloped brains, a condition know as microcephaly.

Sunday night deadline for 2016 health insurance enrolment
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – Sunday night is the sign-up deadline for subsidized private health insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care law.
Administration officials say the deadline is 11:59 p.m. PST, or 2:59 a.m. EST Monday. That’s for the 38 states using the HealthCare.gov website.
People also can enrol on the phone by calling 1-800-318-2596. And many local community organizations offer personalized assistance.
HealthCare.gov is faster, more reliable and easier to use this year. But premiums have gone up.
Fines are also going up for people who remain uninsured in 2016. The minimum penalty is $695 for someone who’s uninsured the full year.
States running their own insurance markets may have different deadlines. Maryland is giving its residents until Feb. 5, due to the effects of the recent East Coast blizzard.
