As the world passes the grim milestone of 40-million confirmed cases of COVID-19, it comes as no surprise that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is keeping the Canada U.S. border closed until at least November 21st.

COVID-19 cases are on the rise in both countries, with many calling the recent surge the “second wave.”

Update on our border: We’ve extended the measures in place at the Canada-US border by another 30 days. Non-essential travel remains restricted until at least November 21st.

Trudeau first closed the border to all non-essential traffic on March 21st.
