US extends COVID-19 border restrictions with Canada, Mexico through Sept. 21
The U.S. extended its border restrictions with Mexico and Canada through at least Sept. 21, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
In a tweet Friday morning, DHS said the extension is to minimize the spread of COVID-19, especially the delta variant.
The restrictions were supposed to end on Aug. 21 before Friday's announcement was made. The extension comes just 12 days after Canada opened its border to vaccinated Americans on Aug. 8.
“In coordination with public health and medical experts, DHS continues working closely with its partners across the United States and internationally to determine how to safely and sustainably resume normal travel,” DHS said in a statement.
