The closure of the U.S.-Canada border has been extended to March 21.

Canada’s Federal Department of Public Security announced on the 19th that the closure of Canada’s land border with the United States will be extended at least until March 21.

The closure of the U.S.-Canada border has lasted for nearly a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, and it is the longest closure in the history of the border between the two countries.

It is reported that this extension may not be the last time with the widespread spread of the COVID-19 mutant strain, and the Canadian government said that it would consider whether to continue to extend the border closures based on the recommendations of public health departments.
