U.S. extends travel restrictions at Canada, Mexico land borders through July 21

Share
WASHINGTON -

U.S. land borders with Canada and Mexico will remain closed to non-essential travel until at least July 21, the U.S. Homeland Security Department said on Sunday.

The 30-day extension came after Canada announced its own extension on Friday of the requirements that were set to expire on Monday and have been in place since March 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The U.S. government held working-group meetings with Canada and Mexico last week.

Homeland Security said in a statement it noted "positive developments in recent weeks and is participating with other U.S. agencies in the White House鈥檚 expert working groups with Canada and Mexico to identify the conditions under which restrictions may be eased safely and sustainably."
