Significance of March 18th, 2020

What is the significance of March 18th 2020 that everyone who has a valid COPR issued before this date is exempt from travel restrictions?

There is a decent chance that the border might remain closed for longer, will this date be moved ahead ?

I’ve been trying to contemplate, but haven’t been able to find anything solid. It’ll be great if folks can share their opinions.

A detailed explanation of IRCCs rationale is provided in this link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/coronavirus/travel-restrictions.html#pr-visa-holders
