For the thirteenth time, the Canada-U.S. border reopening has been pushed back by another month.

On April 20 — one day before the last extension was set to end — Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair confirmed that the border would remain closed to discretionary travel until at least May 21, 2021.

Blair said that decisions would continue to be made based on “the best public health advice available.”

Borders between the two countries have remained closed to non-essential travel for over a year, with restrictions first going into effect back in March 2020.

It comes as Canada continues to deal with a “very serious” third wave of COVID-19. Earlier this month, Canada’s average daily confirmed cases (per million people) topped that of the United States for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic.
