The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced an extension of restrictions limiting non-essential travel at U.S. land ports of entry with Canada and Mexico for an additional 30 days. The government indicates the travel restrictions have been successful in reducing the spread of COVID-19 while still maintaining essential trade and travel. The travel restrictions, after having been extended multiple times, were previously set to expire on June 22, 2020. Non-essential travel includes travel that considered tourism or recreational in nature. Essential travel is permitted and this includes a variety of activities including work, study, health/medical care services, critical infrastructure support, etc. U.S. Citizens, lawful permanent residents, and those with valid travel documents returning to the U.S. are exempted.
