The United States border will remain closed to Canadian travelers.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the country is extending restrictions on non-essential travel with Canada and Mexico through September 21.
This was announced one day before the restrictions were set to end on August 21.
This extension is to minimize the spread of COVID-19, including the Delta variant, according to the DHS.
Restrictions apply to non-essential travelers from Canada and Mexico at land and ferry crossings.
Non-essential travel has been restricted since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2021.
Canada recently opened its border to American travelers on August 9.
This allowed non-essential travelers to enter to the country under certain guidelines.
