The U.S. and Canada will likely extend a ban on non-essential travel until June 21.
The extension of the current travel ban comes amid efforts to mitigate the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Both countries agreed on April 18 to extend border restrictions until May 21 as cases of COVID-19 continued to rise.
According to Reuters, Canada is now pushing for the measures to remain in effect for another month.
A Canadian government source said; “It’s too early to lift the restrictions, so we’re working toward an extension".
Canada has confirmed over 72,000 cases of COVID-19, while the U.S. has reported more than 1.4 million cases.
