The Pandemic Continues: U.S. Borders With Canada and Mexico Will Stay Closed Another Month
NPR reports that the U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico will remain closed to nonessential travel for at least another month.
The United States and Mexico both have far higher COVID-19 mortality rates than Canada.
To continue to limit the spread of COVID, the US, Mexico, & Canada will extend the restrictions on non-essential travel through Nov 21. We are working closely with Mexico & Canada to identify safe criteria to ease the restrictions in the future & support our border communities.
