U.S extends travel restrictions at Canada, Mexico land borders through August 21

U.S. land borders with Canada and Mexico will remain closed to non-essential travel until at least August 21, the U.S. Homeland Security Department said on Wednesday.

The 30-day extension came after Canada announced Monday it will start allowing fully-vaccinated U.S. visitors into the country on Aug 9 for non-essential travel as the threat from the COVID-19 pandemic fades.
