U.March 20, 2020, the U.S. agreed to restrict non-essential travel across the northern and southern borders with Canada and Mexico to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. “Non-essential” travel includes travel that is considered tourism or recreation. Trade and business travel will continue to operate across the borders, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to process cargo shipments.

The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) has published a fact sheet on measures being taken on the border to limit the further spread of coronavirus.
