The Canada-U.S. border will remain closed to non-essential travel for at least another 30 days to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus as confirmed cases in the United States continue to climb past the two million mark. The ban on non-essential travel covers the land border between the two countries, as well as air, sea and rail travel into Canada. Non-essential travel by air and sea to the U.S. is still allowed. The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases globally has surpassed eight million, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. In Canada, the number of confirmed and presumptive coronavirus cases has surpassed 99,000, with 29,878 of them still active.
