Indeed it has:
TORONTO — Canada is banning passenger flights from the UK in a bid to block a new strain of coronavirus sweeping across southern England.
A person familiar with the matter confirmed the development on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly ahead of an announcement.
Additional EU nations have also joined in.

At least 10 European countries banned travel from the UK on Sunday amid concern over a more infectious new strain of Covid-19 in Britain, with France calling a halt to freight transport across the English Channel. Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Ireland and the Netherlands were among the first countries to bar people coming from the UK after a sharp rise in coronavirus cases. The move by Paris to impose a 48-hour block on people and truck-borne freight coming into France from Britain from Monday prompted the closure of transport services across the English Channel, notably between Dover and Calais. It raised the prospect of crippling delays on the UK’s main freight link with the EU, which usually handles up to 10,000 trucks a day.
