In an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, the United States and Canada have mutually agreed to close the border to non-essential traffic.
that the border closure should halt shoppers and tourists but that Canadians would be allowed to return home. The deal is also expected to allow commercial traffic in order to keep supply chains intact.
Yesterday, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freedland discussed at a press conference the potentially devastating effects of closing the border. “Nearly 200,000 people cross that border every day and that border and that traffic that goes across that border is literally a lifeline for both the Canadians and the Americans on both sides of that border,”“We get our groceries thanks to truckers who drive back and forth across that border.
“So it is a unique relationship for Canada and it’s important for us in handling our situation on the border to be sure that we act to get things right,” she explains. The novel coronavirus has already touched Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s family as his wife, Sophie,last week. She’s been self-isolating at home along with Trudeau and her symptoms have since subsided, according to a statement.
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has tested positive for the coronavirus. She and the Prime Minister will be self-isolating for 14 days.
