Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the opening of the border between Canada and the U.S. will be delayed by another 30 days. All non-essential travel will remain closed until at least April 21.
“Non-essential travel restrictions with the United States have been extended until April 21, 2021. We will continue to base our decisions on the best public health advice available to keep Canadians safe from COVID-19”, announced Bill Blair, Federal Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, on Twitter.
This announcement takes place one year after the first closure of the border on March 21, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past year, the border closure has consistently been extended by a month at a time.
“We’ll continue to do whatever is necessary to keep you and your loved ones safe,” said Trudeau on Twitter.
