Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has confirmed the mutual ban on non-essential travel at the Canada - U.S. border will be extended another month.
In his daily address to the country, Trudeau confirmed the U.S. agreed to Canada’s request to extend the restrictions until June 21st.
The deal was first reached in mid-March, and prohibits non-essential travel, but does allow trade shipments, commerce and essential workers to travel in both directions.
Trudeau says the restrictions are an important safety measure for people on both sides of the border.
The U.S. is currently home to 42% of the world's active COVID-19 cases.
