The Canada-U.S. border closure to all non-essential traffic will be extended beyond the June 21 as per the extension deal reported by Reuters on Tuesday.
Currently Canada and the United States are holding talks about extending the border restrictions but the agreement has yet to be signed.
Both countries reached an agreement in March to temporarily close the border to non-essential travel — meaning no recreational visits — while keeping it open to commercial traffic and essential workers who cross the border for work.
It is unclear how long the border restrictions will be extended. The initial agreement was extended in April by 30 days until May 21, before being extended for another 30 days last month.
During a daily briefing by ministers and federal public health officials on Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said the current arrangement with the United States is "working very well" and conversations are happening daily between the two governments.
