The Canada-U.S. border will likely be closed to all non-essential travel in both directions as of Friday night.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the expected timing of the closure Thursday morning after leaders of the two countries revealed details of the plan Wednesday.

Both countries have been in talks in recent days to negotiate a mutual ban on recreational travel without restricting the flow of two-way trade and commerce.

Essential cross-border workers like health-care professionals, air crews and others are to be permitted to cross.

On Wednesday, Trudeau announced the border between Canada and the U.S. will be temporarily closed to non-essential traffic. He also announced additional economic measures to help Canadians affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Trudeau said the government will spend up to $82 billion, including $27 billion in direct support for Canadian workers and businesses.
