Border restrictions get extended for US, Mexico, and Canada

Non-essential travel between US-Mexico-Canada that was supposed to resume on January 21, has been moved further down to February 21. This means that the borders of the three countries remain closed until February 21. In a tweet, the Department of Homeland Security mentioned that the three countries have agreed to postpone the date of reopening of their borders.
The tweet mentions, "We are working closely with Mexico and Canada to keep essential trade and travel open while also protecting our citizens from the virus." The decision comes at a time when America continues to have the highest number of deaths in the pandemic.
Canada, Mexico, and the US had shut their borders in March last year, much like most other countries across the world. As of now, all the rules of the previous months will be practiced during this extended non-essential travel ban. With the latest travel ban extension, the borders of the three countries would be closed for almost a year.

The US has had one of the toughest times during the pandemic, with 424,434 deaths since March 2020. Canada on the other hand has had 18,880 total deaths up until now, while Mexico recorded 147,614 total deaths.
Even though the land borders remain closed, travellers are able to fly into the three countries by following quarantine rules, and other regulations as laid down by the respective governments. Mexico for example is permitting US and Canadian citizens to travel by air.
