Canada is cutting its service hours at 27 low-traffic border crossings on a temporary basis as part of the government's COVID-19 response, the Canada Border Services Agency says. The cuts mean some ports of entry normally open 24 hours a day will close earlier, while some border crossings with already reduced schedules will see their hours cut further and close on the weekends. The new hours are:Cascade, B.C. The government announced in mid-March that it was closing the border to most non-citizens — but that initial announcement had several exceptions, including for Americans. A tally of COVID-19 deaths maintained by CBC News has recorded 980 deaths in Canada, with another two coronavirus-related deaths abroad.
