Travel restrictions at the Canada-US border will be extended for another 30 days.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed an agreement has been reached with the U.S. to keep the border closed to all non-essential travel until June 21, 2020. This is the second time the agreement has been extended since it was implemented on March 21, 2020.
"The decisions that we're taking are very much made week-to-week in this crisis. The situation is changing rapidly and we're adjusting constantly to what are the right measures for Canadians to get that balance right between keeping people safe and restoring a semblance of normality and economic activity that we all rely on. We're going to keep making those decisions as time goes on. It was the right thing to further extend by 30 days our closure of the Canada-US border to travellers other than essential services and goods," said Trudeau.
The border remains open for non-discretionary travel health care workers and other essential services and goods.
