Canada and the United States came to an agreement Tuesday to extend a ban on non-essential travel between the two nations for another 30 days, said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The travel ban, which affects travel across the 5,500-mile-long U.S.-Canada border, was initiated in mid-March to curb the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, and it was already extended in April until May 21. The ban doesn’t cover trade and work-related travel between the two countries.
