Canada’s borders to the United States will remain closed to non-essential travelers until at least Dec. 21 as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted about another 30-day extension of the restriction on Friday.
Essential workers such as health care professionals, airline crews and truck drivers are still allowed to cross.
The travel restriction was first imposed in March to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, it has been renewed monthly.
The current extension was set to expire Saturday.
Update on the Canada-US border: We’ve extended the current border measures by another 30 days. Non-essential travel between our two countries remains restricted until at least December 21st.
