US to allow vaccinated international air travelers; Canadian land border still restricted – By Todd Spangler (Detroit Free Press) / Sept 20 2021
Nonessential travel by Canadians over land and river borders into the U.S. looks like it will remain prohibited for at least another month by the Biden administration.
A Biden administration official said Monday morning he had no information indicating the restrictions would change with the ban set to expire on Tuesday. He noted that other orders relating to COVID-19 and barring noncitizens from crossing the northern and southern borders had been extended into October previously.
The Department of Homeland Security, however, hasn’t made any specific announcement that the prohibition on nonessential travel would continue.
Jeff Zients, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said that beginning sometime in early November, foreign nationals traveling by air will be allowed to enter the U.S. if they have been vaccinated and can show proof of a negative test for the coronavirus.
