U.S. Keeps Ban on Nonessential Border Crossings to Slow COVID

The U.S. will continue to ban nonessential travel from Mexico and Canada until at least September 21st due to the delta variant. This decision, announced by the Department of Homeland Security, aims to curb the spread of the virus. However, it is expected to economically impact border communities reliant on international business. Despite pressure to ease these restrictions, especially after Canada allowed fully vaccinated Americans to enter, the U.S. maintains its stance for now.
