WASHINGTON, Wash. — Restrictions on non-essential travel between Canada and the United States are being extended until at least Nov. 21. 

Public Safety Minister Bill Blair confirmed the news today on Twitter. 

Incidental travel — vacations, day trips and cross-border shopping excursions — has been forbidden since March in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19. 

The restrictions do not apply to those providing essential services in either country, including trade shipments and cross-border workers.
