The Canada-U.S. border will remain closed to non-essential travel for another month.
Public Safety Minister Bill Blair announced Friday that the earliest the border will now open is July 21.
In a tweet, Blair said the government is planning measures for fully-vaccinated Canadians, permanent residents, and others currently permitted to enter Canada.
Ottawa is expected to provide further details on Monday.
The border has been closed to non-essential travel since last March. The restrictions have been extended month by month since.
Our number one priority as we fight #COVID19 is keeping Canadians safe. In coordination with the U.S., we are extending restrictions on non-essential international travel and with the United States until July 21st, 2021.
