In a report published today by The Canadian Press, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was quoted as saying that Canada-U.S. border restrictions won’t be relaxed in the near term. Trudeau said his nation was still in the “control-and-contain” phase of the pandemic and would not consider “even a partial return to normality for several more weeks,” including opening the border.

The U.S. and Canada closed the border to non-essential traffic on March 18 saying the decision would be reviewed after 30 days. There have been unconfirmed reports that the border would remain closed until June 30.
