Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau clarified that 'essential travel,' such as the passage of food, fuel and medicines between the United States and Canada, won't stop.
Processing thousands of people per day puts border agents at increased risk for contracting COVID-19 and passing it along to others.
Both the U.S. and Canada border agencies have reported increasing their questions at entry about international travel and health to spot ill travelers during the spread of the coronavirus. All foreign nationals from China, Iran and certain European countries are barred from entering the United States. This ban includes anyone who visited these countries within the 14 days prior to their U.S. trip.
U.S. citizens are allowed to return home but must fly into 13 designated airports and undergo"enhanced entry screening.""We took major measures on Monday to close off our borders to international travelers and we took two days to coordinate this further measure with the United States to ensure that we do it properly and in cooperation with each other," Trudeau said.
