April 20th 2020 – To no great surprise, the US Canadian and US Mexican borders are to stay closed to non-essential travel for at least another 30 days, with the potential for further extensions beyond that.

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau announced: “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.”
