The United States is expected to extend its border restrictions with Canada for another 30 days. A source with direct knowledge of the situation tells CBC News that American officials are expected to make the announcement tomorrow. The U.S. is currently dealing with spiking numbers of COVID-19 cases due to the delta variant. Canada opened its border to fully vaccinated Americans Aug. 9. To qualify, Americans must have received all required doses of a Health Canada-approved COVID-19 vaccine 14 days prior to entering Canada, and only U.S. citizens and permanent residents residing in and travelling from the United States are allowed in.
