TORONTO: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday the US and Canada have agreed to keep their border closed to nonessential travel for another 30 days.
Trudeau said it will keep people on both sides of the border safe amid the pandemic.
“The agreement is the same terms. It’s just extended for another 30 days. It will ensure we continue to get essential goods and services back and forth across the border,” Trudeau said.
US President Donald Trump said this past Wednesday that the U.S.-Canada border will be among the first borders to open and said the U.S. and Canada are doing well in handling the pandemic, PTI reported.
The U.S. has more confirmed cases and deaths from COVID-19 than any country in the world.
