May 19: Canada-U.S. border will stay closed to non-essential travel until June 21; Trudeau says Canada supports WHO but will probe agency’s relationship with China
Cross-border travel was first restricted on March 21 and extended on May 21.
Some provinces, including Ontario and B.C., vocally opposed reopening the border until health authorities approved the move. The Prime Minister did not say when Canada will open its border with the United States. The government is making decisions on a week-to-week basis, he said. The consensus among a travel advisory committee is to lift measures within Canada before opening the country to non-essential travel., the Prime Minister said, but signalled Ottawa will press for answers on China’s relationship with the global public health body.
