Canada and the United States have agreed to once again extend the closure of their shared border to non-essential travel for another 30 days amid the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Tuesday.
“This is an important decision that will keep people in both of our countries safe,” the prime minister said during his daily address in Ottawa about Canada’s response to COVID-19.
The confirmation comes after some news outlets reported earlier this month that officials were discussing an extension to the current measures until June 21, citing Canadian government and U.S. sources.
The agreement to ban non-essential travel between the two countries was first put in place in March for a 30-day period and was extended until May 21 in April.
