The United States Extends Travel Restrictions at Land Borders to Canada and Mexico

Adel 19 March, 2021 10:15 am Market Update

The US government said Thursday that the US land borders with Canada and Mexico will remain closed to non-essential travel until at least April 21.

The 30-day extension is the second announced under President Joe Biden and comes as US lawmakers in northern border states have urged to lift restrictions that have been nearly a year old to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Department of Homeland Security said that the three countries “decided that unnecessary travel … poses an additional risk of virus transmission and spread.”

Canadian Public Safety Minister Bill Blair confirmed the extension on Twitter.

Canada has shown little interest in lifting restrictions and last month imposed new coronavirus testing requirements for some returning Canadians at land crossings.
