Coronavirus Pandemic: Canada, US extend border restrictions for another 30 days

TORONTO -- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday the U.S. and Canada have agreed to keep their border closed to nonessential travel for another 30 days and he said it will be undoubtedly longer before the restriction is removed.

Trudeau said it will keep people on both sides of the border safe amid the pandemic.
Many of Canada's cases have come from those returning from the U.S and there is a concern that Trudeau might reopen the border again amid pressure from Trump.

"We will continue to take the measures necessary to keep Canadians safe while ensuring the continued flow of our essential supply chains on which so many Canadians depend," Trudeau said.
