Border closure extended into October

Non-essential land travel between the U.S./Canada border will remain closed until at least October 21, said Bill Blair, Canada’s minister of public safety, in a September 18 tweet.

This is the sixth border closure extension since the border closed to non-essential travel March 21 to limit the spread of Covid-19. Land ports between the U.S. and Mexico are also included in the extension.

To date, the U.S. has had more than 6.6 million confirmed Covid-19 cases and 197,116 virus-related deaths, according to CDC data. Canada has had 140, 867 confirmed Covid-19 cases and 9,200 virus-related deaths, according to the Canadian government.
