Just to add one aspect of this: 

Several high-profile companies have imposed blanket travel restrictions on their staff. I am currently at APRICOT in Melbourne, Australia, and a regular conference speaker from Amsterdam, The Netherlands is unable to attend regardless of which route he takes to get here. Neither Australia nor The Netherlands are considered high-risk for this virus. I would expect that a refund for reg fees would apply for such cases too if a blanket travel ban were to include Canada.

Right?
