How does the grounding work for planes already in the air? Are they allowed to continue to their final destination or are they required to return to their originating airport?

WestJet has a few in the air right now, some to the States and some in Canada. Are the planes that flew to the States allowed to return to Canada, or are they stuck in their destination?

Edit: Got a partial answer listening to the Marc Garneau press conference. Planes already in the air will be able to continue their flights.
